Quirky Midtown Carriage House Asks $1800 a Month

This 1-bedroom, 1-bath carriage house sits atop a full two car garage a mere half a block off Woodward. The unit has dark-stained hardwood floors, in-house washer and dryer, granite counters, a dishwasher and a large, private backyard. The living room has large windows overlooking the woodsy outdoor space. The beamed ceilings in the living area also contribute to a woodland cabin feel.

The garage is a major selling point so close to Woodward, and it comes complete with an insulated garage door and a mudroom still fitted with the original cabinetry. The bedroom, a massive, lofted space under the little house's steeply pitched A-frame roof, has a series of skylights that span the apex of that roof, letting in tons of light. The ad claims there's a great city view, but doesn't include pictures of that view, so you may need to tour the place and see for yourself.

The bathroom looks freshly remodeled, with white tile and a full tub. The first floor is completely open to the second in the kitchen space, so the ceiling height is enormous, giving the home a real sense of space. Parking is included (obvs). The unit comes with water, has central air and it takes cats, which makes sense, given all the great perches and kitty-friendly windows in the place.
