Photos by Miss Heather
Today Miss Heather posted photos of a nice little set up on Willoughby Avenue (pictured above). Sure, this isn't what most have in mind when they think of the perfect New York living space, but a few of the positives are pointed out: large front yard, extra storage under the stairs, lawn ornaments that really make a house a home. We dig the digs, and Miss H is smitten with the pied-a-terre. If only it looked like this inside, we'd be sold.
Plus, it has a "paved yard," which as we all know by now is real estate gold! But is it better or worse than living on a houseboat in the Bronx?
