The updated upper-level unit offers a bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio layout with a cozy living area, a charming kitchen, and a private balcony off the bedroom (furniture can stay!).

An architect is scheduled to provide plans next week for reinstalling the original interior staircase that once connected the two levels.
