Features
Each unit has a kitchenette so that individuals may prepare meals for themselves and guests, although a common dining facility just off the entry will entice many and support those who need it. Romanic Victorian imagery, two exposures per unit, and naturally illuminated corridors make these 22 apartments feel like one home.
