The history

The current owner, an architect, bought the house in 2012. He split the home up into three separate apartments: one in the basement, one on the main floor, and another on the second floor, where he currently lives. In this unit, on the main floor, the owner added a barn-style sliding door in front of the bedroom that slides shut to offer some privacy. He also added granite countertops and new appliances in the kitchen.

Major perk

The living room has an electric fireplace, a welcome luxury during winter:

By the numbers

• $2,395 per month (includes water, cable, and internet) • 580 square feet • 1 bedroom • 1 bathroom • 1 veranda • 1 fireplace
