Friend of mine said my apartment layout was different...

[Ocelot II]

12. My house was built in 1885. It's not very big,

but it has an interesting layout that's kind of hard to describe. There's a living room and a sort of parlor that are set at 45-degree angles, along with the small dining room. From the outside it looks like there are two bay windows on opposite sides of the house, but because of the weird layout they really aren't bay windows. The second floor is smaller; there used to be two bedrooms but I had a full bathroom and a walk-in closet installed, so now there is one bedroom and a small sitting room. The kitchen was awful when I first bought the place about 30 years ago, but I remodeled and expanded it and replaced the old bathroom with a half-bath, since there's now a full bath upstairs. One of the things I appreciate about it is that it has the original Eastlake-style woodwork and oak flooring, and the doors are solid, not hollow like new ones. Old houses require a lot of ongoing upkeep but I like them.
