Highlights include 9.5 foot ceilings, abundant light throughout (north-facing), an expansive combined living dining area with central wood-burning fireplace and a double-wide walkout balcony PLUS an assigned parking spot. Major updates include Pella double hung windows plus all new kitchen and bath, and last but not least a brand new HVAC system with a heat pump.

For the surround, we chose large format 12x24 minimal color-variation double porcelain tile from Italy (less grout lines) in a polished finish and for the floors we went with the same in a matt finish for increased grip. And finally there is a concealed trap high efficiency toilet along with a double hung privacy window.
