The apartments consist of one 2-bedroom, 2-bath; one 1-bedroom, 1-bath; and finally, the largest one which is a 4-bedroom, 2-bath apartment which has a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an adjoining bathroom. This larger apartment is ideal for the owner’s residence as it is more spacious with storage spaces and has more quality touches such as granite countertops.
