3532 Jasmine #1 is not
your
typical rental. The 4 x 17 foot patio is an ideal environment for
growing shade plants, and when appropriately tended makes a beautiful
and restful backdrop when viewed through the 12 foot wide glass
windows of the living room. The two level set-up means that public
spaces are separated from private spaces; a guest can wait downstairs
while a host or hostess gets dressed upstairs without either feeling
that they are intruding or being intruded upon. The custom track
lighting in the master bedroom and living room, as well as the beveled
glass chadellier in the stairwell, enables a decorator look. There
is an abundance of closets including a walk-in closet in the master
bedroom (in addition to the normal wardrobe), a "guest" closet in
the entry hall, a linen closet in the upstairs hall, and a storage
closet under the stairs. Two of the closets have wall-switch controlled
lights. There is a skylight in the upstairs bath. An active
preventative maintenance program aims to keep the
building problem free.
The occupants of the building are quiet, long term
tenants. One family has been in the building for 18 years. The
average for the building is ten years. Building occupancy is
approximately one person per bedroom. Half or more of the units are
occupied by people that work from home.back to Home Page

 The five by 17 foot patio is ideal for people that love
plants. Plants
like ficus benjamina, schefflera actinophylla (a.k.a. Brassais), Fatsia
japonica, and most all ferns florish because direct hot sunlight is
blocked by the building.
At night, the patio lights can be used to make the patio garden a
dramatic
backdrop for the living room.

The brick fireplace can burn wood logs, although tenants
are asked to make sure they the wood they bring into the unit is
termite free. The gas starter bar can be used either to facilitate log ignitiion or,
when combined with synthetic logs, give the impression of the natural
fire. The hearth of the fire place is now black granite. |

There is tandem parking for two subcompact cars in the north most
slot.. Tenants do park larger cars, but navigating into the slot
can be a challenge for some people.
A subcompact car is a car not exceeding 165 inches / 13.75 feet
/ 4.2 m in length. A compact car is typically
175 in / 14.6 feet / 4.5 m in length.
Building lighting is controlled by photo cells for consistent dusk to
dawn lighting. Access to courtyard is via electronic key code. |
