Both bathrooms have been refreshed with newer VANITIES, UPGRADED MIRRORS, LED LIGHTING, and a MODERN MEDICINE CABINET. Additional improvements such as newer CARPET, VINYL PLANK FLOORING, BRAND NEW BASEBOARDS, FRESH PAINT, upgraded outlet covers, and a newer washer all contribute to the bright, crisp, updated presentation. The location is one of its strongest features, with immediate access to KROGER, TRUFFLES CAFE, MEDICAL OFFICES, BANKS, BELFAIR PLAZA, and a wide variety of nearby shopping and dining.
