The entire upper floor is the primary suite: second gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and a door straight out to that 300-plus-square-foot deck. Two bedrooms plus a den, and air conditioning. Two assigned parking spaces in the covered garage plus storage, rare up here. Twenty-two-unit building, 77.3% owner-occupied.Walk out and you're three minutes from Harry's Fine Foods, four from Cornelly and Summit Public House, four from Top Pot, six from Analog Coffee, seven from Espresso Vivace.
