You can walk to everything and you don’t really need a car in good weather.

The yard is very small but fenced. You can park in the driveway on the right hand side. The left side is for the guests at the Bucking Mule, that is in the back of the property. Please leave the front yard open for turning around.

I want you to know the house is small duplex. It is about 750 ft.². Also, the house is located on E. 8th Ave., so I want you to know that that is a seven block walk to Main Avenue.
