Blossoming in the heart of midtown Sacramento, four levels of luxury and affordable rental housing surrounds a half-acre European-style courtyard enhanced with landscaping, a large swimming pool and spa. Seven top-floor reverse-floor-plan townhomes feature spacious living/dining areas with huge terraces up in the treetops overlooking the capital city. One, two and three bedroom stacked flats and live/work units that average 900 sq. ft. in floor area are accessed through two pedestrian-scaled breezeways off L Street and atop stoops fronting 18th and 19th Streets. The sixteen-foot high retail storefront along L Street houses the Buckhorn Grill and the L Bar. The modern-infill style brings a strong urban edge to midtown Sacramento. Kuchman Architects collaborated with Vrilakas Architects in the creation of the project. Construction of the housing component was completed in January of 2007.
