dancerjodiIts on the same street the old Waltham Hospital is on. Its HUGE and has a neat wrap-around porch, large rooms, 1/2 finished basement and a fireplace. Its also apparently got recently updated kitchen, bathrooms, updated electrical and updated windows.
The catch? Its got no land. There is a teeny side yard (at present there is a Virgin Mary in a bathtub in it) and the back is paved. There is parking for 2 cars (I'd assume enough more room for a picnic table or jacuzzi, which we hope to get some day).
I poked our realtor about it. He sold the place 6 years ago and said that since then its sold twice. He also noted that "we have to start somewhere" and asked if we want to get in to look at it. Hrm.
Here is the listing - the chain link fence you see is actually the side of the house. The front faces a main street and as you can see, there is no front yard to speak of. The Virgin Mary is located on the side of the house opposite the chain-link fence.
City living, gotta love it! This place is 2 blocks from our old apartment (i.e. a neighborhood that would most likely not appeal to your average young professional trying to move in to one of the new condo complexes)

Well...
Date: 2004-03-01 06:22 am (UTC)Then again, I'm living in a one bedroom apartment with someone who has more stuff then me, so anything would be good right about now ;)
But as your realtor said, "You have to start somewhere"
