What !?! You've Never Seen a House(ish) before?

I was surprised to find that some people didn't know what a house(ish) is, or couldn't quite picture it, even given its illustrative name. Also, I have some sisters that keep wanting pictures. So here are all the pictures you could never want of our house (which I should add we are only renting--the house, not the pictures. Those we own). I must say, though, that I really think NONE of them look like the house. It's weird. Oh, and also, the weather wasn't good for photography, which will be apparent, but I have to mention because I'm an apologizer.

This is the street we live on, ulica Kasztanowa (Chestnut Street). It's a very short street at the very far edge of town that is lined with townhouses. (front left is our driveway)

I suppose you could say that our house(ish) looks something like this:

But I think it looks a little more like this:
In the winter, when the grass is dead and the car is black with mud, if you were standing on the front balcony (off our bedroom) you might look down and see this:

I'm including this one because Su thinks Evie looks superimposed on here and that's funny:

If you walked inside the week after we moved in you might have seen this:

And NOW, the reason it's a house(ish). Our neighbors are stuck to us:


What does that make it? I don't think it's a duplex. I wouldn't call it a townhouse, either. That's why I call it a house(ish). What would YOU call it?
