very nice layout and amazing…what is a water closet in the bathroom ? sell me with the furniture except the wicker bar stool. Mayb ethe kitchen appliances should be changed to Bosch.
The Good – lovely location and good layout
The Bad – crappy kitchen with what appears to be entry level appliances…IMHO dated interior
The Ugly – good luck with entertaining on the patio facing noisy Avenue Road
The Realtor – why is the property not listed on Sarah’s site? Non-descriptive feature sheet…and I do mean non-descriptive
water closet = toilet stall; hopefully with an exterior venting fan…..
This place needs to be re-staged, STAT! 1992 called, it wants its furniture and art work back!
