The Artist’s Secret Garden This luxuriously appointed mid century home opens onto a private deck and parklike garden. It feels like being in the country even though it is just a few blocks to the town square and similarly close to the university. It has a large classic living room, dining room and bedroom and a small kitchen and bathroom. It has an outdoor living room on an ample deck opening onto a lovely garden and pond. The property is surrounded by trees and feels like being in the country even though it is only 5 blocks from the town square. There is a couch that can be made into a bed for a child. On request we can add a blow up bed, for a fee. This is one of 4 apartments in an old building and there is ample soundproofing but it is a poor choice for loud partying. Pleasant gatherings on the deck are encouraged. The local grocery store is two blocks down an alley that feel like a country road. A truly tranquil retreat. You will be surrounded by a good people and a beauty Free bicycles make it easy to get around and enjoy the 17 mile bike trail that circles the town. Please let us know if you will be wanting to use the bicycles.
