“Sunny, High Ceilings English basement – NY Style apartment – 2 really large Bedrooms – both with a beautiful brick fireplace (one is gas self-ventilated, so cannot be turned on if someone is using as a Bedroom), both large enough to place Bed, couch & desk – but very limited common area – only large enough in foyer for a small dining table and 2 chairs – storage area – kitchen has gas stove, deep sink, refrigerator & full-size dishwasher. Large bathroom – double sink, stackable washer dryer, large shared brick patio with the owner (I own and live on top 2 levels). I completely renovated it when I bought the house a few yrs ago.
