The property also comes with a private single garage that can be accessed through the enclosed rear courtyard, a rare feature on Irsha Street, providing a secure storage facility for bicycles, watersports gear or a small car. The cottage was redecorated and renovated by the current vendor in 2018 including rewiring, remodeled bathroom, creation of the utility space and relocating the staircase to open up the living room increasing the space.
