On the other side of the central terrace is a bedroom facing W 11th Street. There is a gap in the townhouses across the street, allowing for extra light to illuminate the room. Currently used as a home office, there are original beams and exposed brick. A skylight illuminates the staircase.

Gardens are key to any townhouse and this one will not disappoint. The sizable garden, over 40 feet long, has a very special White Ash tree, bamboos on the back wall, and ivy. There is ample space for multiple seating areas and an outdoor grill, an ideal space to entertain or enjoy the outdoors.

Perfect for guests, the garden apartment features a separate entrance, oversized windows overlooking front garden, large living area, separate kitchen, and back bedroom. There are bamboo floors and a vented washer dryer.
