The second floor is a beautiful atelier apartment, with sprawling living/dining/kitchen, bedroom fit for a king-size bed, generous walk-in closet, and lovely bathroom with claw-foot tub. A full cellar offers ample storage for bikes and boards. If you want to be in the center of the action, yet tucked away with privacy and lovely outdoor space, The Clifton House could be for you!
