Well it's just a smidgen under 1000sqft with a full basement. It has 3 bedrooms, two with hard wood floors and one with some carpet I might want to swap. It was made in '54 so it is a lot newer than some I have been looking at. It has a nice big eat-in kitchen. Even though I rarely cook anymore I like a big kitchen. It has a very finish-able basement which already has a very nice bathroom in it. The upstairs on has a tub with no shower but the basement one is nice enough to use all the time for showering. The carpet in the living room could stand replacement but that is not too big a think. It has a 1.5 car garage that I can make into a nice shop since my boat (as you now have seen) does not need a garage. So it just meets all my requirements. It has thing that COULD be done to it to make it better but is not a major fixerupper. That is the best of both worlds since I am pretty handy and pretty lazy ;P The location is nice and closer to work that I am now by a small amount. Too bad I don't work at the other main Rockwell building since it is only a block or two from that (I could walk to work if I was over there).
Sounds like just about *exactly* what you wanted, no? Decent sized without being tiny, and with plenty of shop space. Does it have a little bit of land, too?
My house (former house, I should say) was built in the 50s, too.
