Tuesday Two Hundred: Add a Second Bath to This Hollywood Heights Tudor And it Puts the “OH!” in Perfecto!

By Joanna England / October 9, 2012 /

I know that having only one bathroom in a moderately sized house is a difficult proposal for the home’s occupants. It takes, patience, sharing, and throwing modesty to the wind to make it work.

If you love a place that has tons of raw potential, this cozy cottage in Linwood Place is your next home. There is a lot to love about this two-bedroom, one-bath home, but I won’t sugarcoat the schizophrenia-inducing tile in this house.
