Ice Creamsmith — a family-owned ice cream parlor that has cooled off Lower Mills for nearly 50 summers. Enter into an L-shaped hallway — wide enough for an office nook — with a laundry closet and bath at left. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, a spacious bath with double vanities and step-in shower, and sliders to a private balcony. The open great room, soaked in sunlight by southfacing windows, includes a kitchen with quartz counters, breakfast bar, and stainless Bosch appliances. There’s a second bedroom off the living area. CONS Not much in the way of common amenities.
