Small house. Big life. The square footage just happens to be outside. Picture the moment. Keys in hand, the landlord's number deleted, and a front door that finally answers to you. Welcome to 13113 St James. Inside, 730 square feet of cozy, easy living. The kind of home that cleans up before the coffee's done brewing and heats up without heating up your budget. Every room earns its keep... no wasted hallways, no formal spaces you'd visit twice a year, just a comfortable place to land at the end of the day. Add your furniture, your art, your questionable throw pillow collection, and it feels like yours fast. Now step out back, because this is where the house starts showing off. The lot is oversized. Not "a little extra grass" oversized... genuinely, room-to-breathe oversized. Space for a garden that actually produces something. A fire pit for fall nights. A dog with room to run, a summer cookout with room for the whole crew, or simply a lawn big enough that mowing counts as cardio. And then there's the garage. Big. Surprisingly big. Big enough for the car and then some... a workshop, a home gym, a project car, or finally reuniting with everything you've been paying a storage unit to babysit. For some buyers, it'll be the reason they book the showing. For everyone else, it's the answer to "where do we put all this stuff?" before anyone even asks. Here's the smart part. Most homes at this price ask you to choose: the house, the yard, or the storage. This one gives you all three. The space just went where it works hardest... outside, where you'll actually use it. Rent pays someone else's mortgage. This pays you back in equity, elbow room, and Saturday mornings that belong to you. Small house. Big yard. Bigger garage. Zero regrets. Come see 13113 St James. Bring your imagination... and maybe a tape measure.
