Upgraded carpet floors the loft and the two secondary bedrooms but the primary bedroom features those glorious hardwoods from downstairs. This large room opens to a private balcony overlooking the green back yard. The bathroom feels like a spa in creams and whites. Extra cabinets give you the storage you've been hoping for. Check the boxes for a walk-in closet and transom windows - giving you the light you want without sacrificing your privacy. 505 Oakwood gets even better with two words: Income Producing.
