Ode to the Polly Pocket House

 


Oh Polly Pocket house! Oh my dream home!
How cute! How quaint! How perfect!
Your bedrooms so tiny,
Your price yet so big!

Has LA really changed me that much?
Three years ago, when first I saw,
I thought, how sad that one would have to live
in a house so small!

Today you seem perfect, just the right size!
Alas, you're over four hundred grand!
Anyone out there want to give me a hand?

Perhaps to lend one grand, two or three?
Can't you just picture me and the Polly Pocket house?
How perfect we'll be!

 


There is a row of houses in Burbank that I have called the Polly Pocket homes since moving to LA three years ago.  Since then, I've grown accustomed to the small houses in LA.  One of the Polly Pocket homes has recently gone on sale.  How perfect! I thought. It's meant to be!  The owner is asking for 419,000 but open to negotiation.  We're looking at other places, but the neighborhood is hard to beat.  We'll see.  And after that, we'd have to get 14,000 for a down payment. 

Look at the comparison below to a Polly Pocket toy I used to play with:

They look very much alike. What a cute house, but how expensive!! Will you be able to get that kind of a mortgage? Can you describe the inside of it?
