Description

I am a Penn professor based in Brooklyn.

It's a special little house, with ample work space and a beautiful garden. --Two large primary bedrooms at the front (small closet) and rear (with a big walk-in closet). --There is a small office/bedroom furnished with a twin-sized futon mattress. --The common areas (first floor living, dining) are lightly furnished with a dining table, dining chairs, and sofa. --Dishwasher and washer/dryer; highly effective window air-conditioner that cools the entire first floor. --Kitchen is equipped with cookware basics and daily tools. --1 1/2 baths. Bath and powder rooms are newly renovated, featuring claw foot tub and walk-in shower, handmade shelves, new tile floors. --Lovingly planned, professionally tended garden. The yard and patio are big enough for a cafe table and grill. --Monthly cleaning. --Huge amount of storage space in the basement. --Alarm and doorbell camera --Great handyman
