Description

Dunsmuir Flats is a four unit building, all attached, with each 2-story unit containing 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. It is an example of Modern International Style, with a flat roof and horizontal bands of clerestory windows. All of the bedrooms face south, with access to their own private balconies, and the dining room and living rooms open out onto a patio. On the 49 foot wide lot, each unit is stepped back to give a sense of privacy to the patio and balcony areas.
