Ever dreamed of having your very own bathroom, despite living in a 2 bedroom home? Picture this: a serene, zen-like environment, where no children’s bath toys clutter the corner,  there’s also no cloud of the roomie’s patchouli deodorant mystifying your nostrils, and the ‘squatty-potty’ is yours and yours alone.  Maybe you share it with a significant other, but they too have a place for their own toothbrush and it really only commingles with yours.  Then, down the hall, there’s another bathroom. This one is considered to be for guests, but in reality, it’s the wild west of ablutions, the domain of either your sticky toothbrush wielding kids, your aforementioned patchouli dousing roomie, or maybe your mother in law’s collection of Avon. Perhaps it really is for guests, but however it’s used, it’s not YOUR bathroom. Your bathroom is a sanctuary of peace and cleanliness and proof positive of real adulthood.

Maybe you also dreamed of having a kitchen big enough to work in? One with cabinets and counterspace enough to wrangle some “sous-chef” “helpers” into chopping and mixing to your own heart’s desire. Perhaps you’re just tired of every meal being like a chaotic episode of Bake-off? Or, could it be that you’ve been longing for a separate eating area so that dinner time was also quality time? The potential for greatness is here and what’s already in place is vast! Look at all that counterspace!

This ever-so desirable, and very rare, two bedroom and two bath domicile is also situated in the heart of Mt.Scott/Arleta/Woodstock. So not only are you utterly beguiled by the sheer number of cafes, bars, parks, groceries (I count 4) and libraries available to you, so is that roomie or those kids of yours who hanker for the “good-life”.  Sure, weighing in at 1050 sq ft makes it one of the smaller abodes, but despite the tiny street-view, this home is surprisingly roomy with a full living room,  dining room, a very-decent sized kitchen, and a real laundry room!!  The lot is large and has room for a garage, or a crafts-shed, a playground, or RV parking,  and is conveniently accessed by alley.  There’s a ton of potential here to tap but with new flooring and new paint inside and out, this starter or downsizer home is well on its way!
