That feeling when you're getting a divorce and you're forced to sell your crab collection to pay the HOA dues at your condo.

Thanks to Curieously for sending this gorgeous, beautifully converted boiler room in an 1886 building in Providence, Rhode Island. 3bds, 2ba, $795K + a total deal-breaking $544mo. HOA fee. (Now, why does the $35M home I posted yesterday have a $34HOA and this $795K condo has a $544HOA?) What could they possibly do for you to warrant an extra $6,528 yr.?
Alongside the entrance area is cozy little sitting space.
This incredible. They left all the old details that made it a once-creepy boiler room. I love it.
I even love the old poles with the exposed wires.
The kitchen isn't huge, but it has all the appliances. I don't need a big kitchen, as long as it's well-equipped and has storage.
The 3rd bedroom is in the loft, up the spiral stairs. The bed area is so cozy, but you could put a little reading nook or desk in there, and put the bed elsewhere.
I guess they have display items on top of the closet in the primary bedroom. This is a maximalist's home for sure.
Convenient laundry/utility closet. Look at that original door with the ceramic knobs.
Love the en-suite. There's a built-in shelf and another great old door.
Bedroom #2 is on the main floor.
The 2nd bath is beautiful with a cool toilet, pedestal sink and relaxing stylized soaker tub.
Judging by the 2 BBQ areas, the courtyard must be shared by 2 units, but this unit has the larger space.
Parking right outside the unit.
These double doors open to the dining area, and the main entrance is next to them in the arch.

Did Roman apartment houses have a "Super" on site, or a doorman? Was parking included for your horse and wagon? What happened if your insula went condo? In this video you'll learn about Roman apartment houses, or insulae; who lived in an insula, and on what floors; the floor plan of a typical insula; and what a typical insula would have looked like.
