The Space:

The historic Murphy House, built in the 1820s for three “spinster” sisters, later became the home of French artist Murphy, who lived here for nearly 100 years. Many of his original paintings still adorn the foyer today.

Enter your unit through the main entrance on the parlor level and ascend the staircase to the second floor. Step into a fully renovated apartment featuring ample space, modern amenities, and stylish décor, anchored by refinished original hardwood floors and historic touches.

The upgraded kitchen boasts new appliances, fresh white quartz countertops, and ample cabinet space. A small dining table set for four complements the fully appointed kitchen, equipped with everything you need to cook during your stay, including pots, pans, dishware, utensils, and more. A Keurig is ready to brew your morning coffee.

Off the kitchen is a spacious living area with modern furniture, creating a chic vibe while offering ample comfort. Natural light floods the room through surrounding windows. A smart TV is ready for streaming your favorite entertainment. The sofa pulls out into a queen mattress, accommodating a third or fourth guest.

The bedroom has two entrances, one from the living room and one from the kitchen hallway. A new queen mattress, crisp linens, and plush pillows ensure a restful night's sleep. Bench seating by the window offers a cozy reading nook.

Across the hallway from the bedroom is the unit’s single bathroom, featuring a single vanity and a low-entry shower. Custom tile work adds a fresh touch to the space. Essentials like toilet paper, towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hairdryer are provided.

The Murphy House also offers a common washer and dryer on the first floor, free for your use.

The entire apartment is setup for you use! We have a pullout couch in the living room that you can pull out if you choose, and provide sheets and blankets for it.

You must walk up the main staircase out front to the Parlor level, and then another set of stairs inside to get to your floor.
