In addition to the contemporary interior spaces, all units feature ground- level fenced yards, multiple balconies and generous roof -top decks for the residents’ exclusive use and enjoyment. All units also include two -car enclosed garages with direct unit access, and there are numerous guest spaces distributed around the entire property.
