The detached flex suite with full bath and mini-split adapts to whatever your life needs right now: guest space, studio, office, or retreat.

Both bathrooms are tastefully refreshed, and the bedrooms open directly to the outdoors through French and sliding doors. Solar (assumable lease ~$105/mo), central A/C, tankless water heater, and off-street parking round out the practicality.
