A second living area with built-in wet bar opens to a balcony with sweeping downtown views, and a second laundry hookup adds exceptional convenience. Above the detached two-car garage, the 541-square-foot guest apartment features its own private entrance from the side street, full kitchen, full bath, laundry closet, built-in storage, and screened balcony. Ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or rental income, the apartment has a proven history of successful rental use.
