Amid a sea of Victorians, Edwardians, and contemporary numbers, the Donald McDonald-designed townhomes on Guerrero have always been something of an adorable mystery. Unique among its neighbors, this cluster of houses, replete with gabled roofs, always seem more accessible and quaint compared to the majestic turn-of-the-century buildings nearby.

Today one of these homes lands on the market. Set back from the street on court yard, Unit D features two beds, one bath, and 800 square feet. The beds and bath can be found on the first floor, while the second floor is an open and airy space with kitchen, living room, and office/loft.

The vaulted ceiling and wood-burning iron fireplace are a treat, as is the asking price of $789,000.
