...it's so easy. The house/duplex also has a view of the Northwest African American Museum.

Wonder if that deck gets much use. Seems too public.

It looks like the house where they found Osama. What were you doing in Pakistan?

It's beautiful, but @1 is right. I never understand second-story balconies facing the street. What are you going to do, come out in your bathrobe and read the morning paper while your hair dries?

@3, I would. Probably sans bathrobe.

Notice that the 100-year-old house next door has one too.

I don't much care for the institutional hand railing but the horizontal strip of windows is nice.

@1 and @3, this is a dead end street. To the left is a turn cul-de-sac-ish turn around and a pedestrian entrance to the I-90 lid bike trail. So it is private in terms of car traffic being nil.

I'm beginning to wonder exactly where Charles lives since the last two "House of the Week" pictures have been within blocks of my house.

Steve Bull AIA built it as a triplex. it's won awards and everything! Go here to his flash-laden site, and click on the second photo from the left, for some pics that show the inside spaces.

I used to live there. @7 is correct, not only did Bull build it, he also lives in one of the units. I was his tenant a few years ago, in the prior dwelling occupying that lot (it used to be a duplex, matching the look of the neighboring house). The tenant after me burned it down by accident. Nobody was hurt.

Here's what it used to look like:

Wait, it's a multiunit building? That changes everything. The upstairs balcony can stay.
