I've seen this home many times and can't get it outta my head. The HOA is angry, but the condition and versatility of the space is incredible. You'll pay more to live in the building because of it's architectural design, but I think the home will...
retain good value over the years.

Unique floorplan with secondary access to lower level bedroom. Tons of closet space throughout and lots of natural light. Easy street parking for guests!

The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
