It’s a quaint little house. Nice, open floor plan with kits of natural light. The views are incredible. Location? It’s very close to several businesses, which is nice. In fact, you can get your home insurance just downstairs. There’s a local coffee shop in the building as well. The HOA is a little strict about yard-work, fences, that kind of thing. There’s a shared rooftop garden though. I hear the cucumbers grow really well at that altitu- I mean the climate here! Super great for hothouse cucumbers. Just think of all the salads you could make. Open house is Thursday!
