Okay, so I went to look at the duplex last night and YES! Pros and cons but mostly pros and the cons I can make work. Hardwood floors, big living room, washer/dryer/refigerator/dishwasher, lots of closets (small but several). Kitchen is small, have to get a microwave, at least I have a cart I can put it on. Kitchen wallpaper may have to go soon --looks like cork board. Need a twin bed for the extra bedroom/sewing room --- but that will have to wait. Bathroom small, but will work --- I have a linen closet -- so happy. Great neighborhood, wonderful landlords, beautigul gardens in the back, CLOSE to work and church. Counting my blessings for sure. HE is awesome.
