Similar to what I’m looking for and exactly at my max budget, but not my jam. Looks fairy depressing to be honest, especially the views and outdoor space. Also only 1 parking space. But hey walking distance to Forbidden Root which is solid.

20′ Garage wall looming over the garden is pretty bad.
I don’t get the design and I am always fascinated by how it contributes to short tenures of occupancy….is your unit partially over a portion of someone else’s and someone else’s is partially over yours? Is sound attenuation an issue (e.g. someone’s kitchen is over the master suite?)
I think part of why this looks depressing is the current occupant’s furniture clashes with the design. Would benefit from putting most of their stuff in storage and renting staging furniture from Cort for the listing photos.
The outside space is hardly an oasis.

Its a pretty cool pad but the price just feels high to me.
Did the architect moonlight as a designer of long-term storage facilities?
