Two other bedrooms occupy this level with a shared bath situated between them. A cleverly designed pull-out stair ladder provides access to a 234 square foot useful loft space tucked above the rear bedrooms.The original owners of the home commissioned a mural on the left exterior wall titled "Cosmic Stars" by artists McKenzie Eddy and Elliott A. Smith... the mural is beautifully uplit at night for a dramatic artistic element. This incredibly convenient location is just steps from Hampton Park, and numerous popular dining spots.
