1,600 square feet is not enough room?! I have two kids, a dog & two cats and have spent my entire adult life living in houses that are 1200 square feet or less. And we have frequent guests. And plenty of room!
I hate empty spaces, though. And a specially designated "guest room" is nothing but unused space 90% of the time. It could also make overnight guests waaay too comfy and more likely to stay longer than planned. :-)

I love the inside of this house, btw. The facade doesn't thrill me. But that dining room is gorgeous!

I love this house.
But something in the basement description of that first listing is driving me nuts: 'Lots' doesn't need an apostrophe.

I was actually sort of kidding, Nokilissa. I liked hearing about your neighborhood!
And I kept my mouth zipped about all of the minor annoyances around my old house, and still could not sell it. So it's not like I know anything about anything.

Not much of a sales pitch for your current house, Nokilissa. Hope your area has lots of potential buyers that don't read Brownstoner ...

I think this house is adorable. But is there no sink in the first floor bathroom? Or am I missing something in the floorplan?

Looks like a lot of folks have to work on Columbus Day.
I honestly didn't even realize that today was a holiday until a few minutes ago.
