Yes - the insulation is good! Sometimes footsteps travel but talking, music and TV typically don't. My boyfriend, Sam and my sweet pup, Willow, live upstairs. We love to cook (well, Sam loves to cook) and make cocktails while hosting our friends. Shelter in place gave us the opportunity to put a lot of work into the backyard including building and planting an orchard and expanding our chicken coop (fun fact - all the chickens are named after the spice girls). The girls are quiet and only make noise when announcing they've laid an egg in the afternoon. We're happy to share the eggs! I typically travel quite a bit for work and have found that I actually enjoy the slower place of life that Covid has presented. The home gives the option for minimal interaction and privacy or the option to hang out in the yard should we find ourselves becoming friends. The neighbors are wonderful and it's a tight knit community. If you're looking for an apartment that feels more like a home - this might be the place for you. Apartment is currently tenant occupied. Please email me to set up an appointment to see the apartment. Available August 1st.
