The home’s realtor, Arty Basinski of Real Estate By Bike, created a rap video to market the house.

The kitchen is quaint and cozy and is loaded with potential.

Marketed as an alternative to a condo, the kitchen’s functional layout offers a wealth of possibilities and could easily be transformed into the space of your dreams.

The home’s primary bedroom is located between the living room and kitchen, featuring a layout much like a New Orleans shotgun-style house, where one room flows into the next and no hallways are involved.

The home also features a walkout basement with surprisingly high ceilings, allowing for this second bedroom.

Also located in the basement is this additional living room, which could be ideal for a home theatre, lounge/bar, child’s playroom or even an additional bedroom.

A spacious closet features built-in storage.

A little creativity and inventiveness can unlock the potential of this basement space.

The home’s single bathroom is located in the basement. Its size offers a wealth of renovation possibilities to create a large, stunning spa-inspired sanctuary.
