Priced out? Try a Garden Apartment: 2730 N. Pine Grove

9×6 bedroom? Hopefully the door opens into the hallway — if it opens into the room you won’t be able to get any bed in there.
Alternatively, there could be a pocket door for that bedroom…
Is that a bedroom or jail cell? The bars on all the windows just add to that ambiance I suppose!
And the kitchen… at least it could be a clean slate.
The way they have it staged is funny. You have to climb over the bed to get in the room! I wonder what is unseen in the photo that the bed can’t be pushed against a different wall so touring this condo isn’t like rumaging through the jungle…
$160,000 would be a more realistic price.
