PROS The backyard is nicely landscaped and has a tiny house with electricity — an ideal place to work from home. Though legally a one-bedroom, the unit’s large rec room and downstairs dining room have been used as additional sleeping spaces. The building has bike and caged storage.

 

CONS The bedroom doesn’t have a closet; there is a tiny coat closet across from the front door and a huge walk-in closet on the lower level. A spiral staircase may be difficult for some to navigate. Financing would likely require 30 percent down, because the building has two sponsor-owned units.
