↑ This 1,000-square-foot one-bedroom in Corona Heights has is full of well-kept details, from the hardwood floors to a decorative white brick fireplace and a touch of wainscoting.

The apartment takes up a full floor in a two-unit Victorian building and has undergone a remodel that brought quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances to the kitchen.
