Haus (House)

Our house is a Doppelhaushälfte which is really just a Duplex. The landlord lady lives in the other half next door.
As you can see there is almost no front yard to speak of but there is a back yard. When they renovated the house, they did not finish the outside work as it was winter. We are still waiting for a driveway, backyard, patio and balcony.
You can see our wooden "walkway" that we use to get to the front door (which is on the side of the house.)

Most of the houses on our street are duplexes as well.
