Good to know

This comfortable flat is located on the second floor of a duplex in a classic brick home and offers a thoughtfully designed, well-laid-out space ideal for both short and extended stays. Recently fully remodeled, the home blends modern updates with preserved historic character. Most notably the original hardwood floors, which have been intentionally maintained to honor the home’s 1920s charm. As with many vintage homes, you may notice some natural creaking underfoot, adding to the home’s authentic character. The living room is bright and inviting, providing a relaxing space to unwind or enjoy TV. The kitchen is equipped with essential appliances, cookware, and dining space, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay. The first two bedrooms feature comfortable king beds with cozy linens, blackout curtains, and ample storage to ensure restful nights. The third bedroom includes a queen bed, making it perfect for additional guests or family members. The bathroom is clean and well maintained, stocked with basic essentials. Guests enjoy private access to the entire second-floor unit. The only shared space is the basement, where the washer and dryer are located; machines are clearly labeled for upper- and lower-level use to ensure a smooth experience. The home also offers high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and driveway parking. As this is the upper-level unit, you’ll enjoy added privacy with no overhead neighbors. Please note that, like most historic homes, footsteps may be heard by the downstairs unit. Conveniently located, this home is an excellent choice for Navy families attending graduations or trainings, as well as guests planning extended stays who value comfort, privacy, and a blend of modern updates and historic charm.
