Privacy: Concrete construction and minimal shared common walls allow for better than average condo experience. The private courtyard offers additional space between the sidewalk and front doors. This combined with the buildings placement on a dead-end street enhances your quiet and privacy; yet close enough to the busy area to walk.
.
Security: The unit is strategically placed so it is exposed to consistent light foot traffic from the local inhabitants. This combined with the units situated above and across the street allow for watchful eyes that greatly minimize the risk of theft or vandalism. The condo has only one exit and entrance that also contributes to its security. The units parking spaces are gated and next to a steep hill. Several building apartments look directly down onto the spaces. The condo can be accessed by walking through the courtyard, past the mailboxes and just adjacent to the front entrance.
.
Heating & Cooling: The concrete and brick construction keeps this unit moderate in temperature and helps protects it from fast temperature swings. A commercial grade heat pump and air conditioning unit has been installed for peak performance. The north wall is constructed separate from the buildings hallway. This allows for almost no sound to be transferred to the working and living space. In addition, with no exposure from the sun and the added barrier mentioned above, the unit is cool in the summer and warmer in the winter then the majority of the units in the building.
.
Kitchen: The unit currently has an efficiency kitchen with room for a microwave, dishes and small fridge. This area was originally designed to house a washer and dryer and can be converted back to its intended purpose. The south wall contains a fully wired and plumbed area for any size kitchen that may be desired.
.
Bathroom: Located three-quarters back is an area containing the bathroom, master closet and washer / dryer closet (currently being used as an efficiency kitchen). The bathroom is equipped with a sink and toilet with additional room for a bathtub or shower. Adding or changing the plumbing is straightforward since the plumbing is mostly exposed and the parking garage in located directly below; allowing for easy modifications.

The West wall is has been constructed to comply with earthquake standards and is approximately 18″ thick. To North is floor to ceiling custom made cabinet allowing for a huge amount of storage space. A metal door is adjacent acting as a closet is large enough to hold a 4-drawer lateral cabinet. A walk-in closet occupies the opposite wall. If desired, a full size bed or hide-a-bed could easily fit in this area replacing the desk.
