Central air here and there's a big difference in an apartment and a
house. I think you once mentioned it's a 2br apartment? Something I
vaguely recall about a workroom that was probably the 2nd bedroom?

Here is quite a bit bigger. Home built in 1963. Like housing then, it
has it's quirks but in any development, you have some in each block
that are upscale of the others. Thats mine. Not obviously bigger from
the street view, it's 7 feet longer (front to back) and some 3ft wider.
It's been added to over the years so has a huge back screened porch
that is 13ft x 44ft plus the corner end was enclosed to a sunroom aka
'4th bedroom' (but technically enclosed porch by VA building code
because the ceiling is 7.5ft). The 1.5 garage was enclosed to an extra
family room.

Clocks in at just over 2,000 sqft. Just under 1,000kwh for April for
$125.
