…was quite creative!
I was touring a house on Santa Fe in Albany, a cute little 3 bedroom house. Downstairs, through a very narrow stairwell, was the 3rd bedroom. In the corner, next to the stairs, was a small bookshelf, about 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. The bookshelf was on a hinge. Swing “open” the bookshelf and you will find another opening, leading to the large workshop and laundry room!
Surprise!
And creative.
