I am in love with this building and it is for sale. It has a huge wrap around yard with a bike fence. Inside it has a huge living area and kitchen in the back. A very private patio is on the back of the building. It would all need to be updated but it is do-able. Upstairs is an open loft to the bottom floor. That area can house 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. There's also a place towards the back of the building that would be great for an office/studio area. Yeah, I may be buying this place. It is a historical building so the outside will have to remain pretty much the way it is as well as the bones of the place.
It is right across the street from an art gallery. I could probably sell some of my prints there. The price is right so I'm going to have to look into it. But, I'd rather rent. Maybe they'd work with me. And, my full time job allows me to work from anywhere. I think I'd like to work and live here. :)
