House
The apartment is actually an old two story garage that was renovated by the people who bought the house on the adjacent property. The whole free-standing unit would be ours. There are three entrances: 1 on the side (main), 1 in the back, and 1 on the second floor balcony (accessible by outdoor stairs). The latter actually leads to a bedroom.

The guy who built it used a lot of poured concrete (which makes up every floor in the house). As such, there is a sort of accidental modernism that happens with this place that I find very interesting and quirky. It is by far the coolest place I've visited thus far.



Living Room
The living room used to be the garage. It has been closed in and features a series of windows on the street side that are holdovers (or inspiration) from an actual garage door... I think. It is quite large and features 2 small closets.





Kitchen
Spacious, though there is a lack of storage space built in. There is a really cool bar/breakfast table with two high stools. There may also be some opportunity here for a baker's rack or some sort of hook system by which to hang pots. Oh, and that fridge in the corner will be changed out for a full sized unit.





Laundry
In the kitchen with cabinets above.

Bathroom
Upstairs, between the 2 bedrooms. Features teal tile. GO HORNETS!



Bedrooms
Both bedrooms have concrete floors (which is fine with me), but only one has an actual closet (the other has some built in shelves, but that's it). Both are also fairly spacious -- about the size of my current room. The front one (the one without a closet) actually has a door that opens to the front yard (it's the door you can see in the first image that leads to the balcony).

Back

Back Patio
Small, but it exists. Possibly could plant a lemon tree or some herbs (legal). Easily fit crawfish boiling paraphernalia.

Parking
There appears to be one space (sort of), but maybe not. It's an odd case of there used to be a driveway here but we got rid of it up to the sidewalk type of thing. So, possibly. But possibly not.

Misc.
The house is cool. It's lacking storage space afforded by other places, but I think that's ok for us. The one thing that really is missing is any extra space that might be deemed studio worthy. It is on a beautiful street with beautiful homes (I mean, we'd be renting a garage for $1200) and it's ridica-close to Whole Foods, Reginelli's, my work, Tacquiera Corona, a bank, multiple coffee shops, a post office, a hardware store, and an art supply store. We could walk to all of those places within 10 minutes. We'd also have a nice landlord who lives next door (young couple, about my parent's' age, with kids).

Verdict
Please, oh please can we get it?
