If you haven't been there before---you're missing out on this coffee shop! This floor plan is exceptional because of its extra-large living area. It's a large rectangle allowing you to creatively furnish it in a variety of ways. We staged the photos to demonstrate different options prior tenants have utilitized to make the space their own. Which one works for you? The kitchen is just big enough, but not too large to have it taking up space that is best used for many other things! Recently renovated cabinets in the kitchen and bath....These are an excellent value! (See the walkthrough video!) -Laundry on-site with storage spaces available to rent! -One free reserved spot per apartment -Call 425.413.3855 to tour! |
