Well, actually she bought it because she lives next door and didn’t want another owner building a second storey and blocking her view. But she does rent it out.
The 252-square-foot place is vacant again, and you can rent it for a mere $1200 per month. Let’s take the video tour:
Gene Weingarten exaggerated; the place is a roomy nine-and-a-half feet wide, and a whole 28 feet long. It does have off-street parking, which in this neighborhood rents for about $200 a month per space and adds as much as $50K to a home’s sale price.
