The main room is spacious and bright and comes with ample closet and storage space, plus a corner workstation for those WFH days. The main room also features hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and an AC unit. The bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower and a full washer and dryer. The front patio area is separated from the main home by shrubbery and planters, allowing for complete privacy for working or entertaining outside. Parking is on the street.

Internet access and cable TV are tenants' responsibility. DRE 01404898
