There are no opening windows. The bathroom needs a door. A pocket door or barn door could work instead of a curtain. If the couch is to serve as a bed, sheets, a pillow, and extra blankets would be nice. We understand that the property is being worked on, but it was listed as a view property. Location listed had a Wasilla address, but was farther out than anticipated.
