This is a house that I looked at. It was not a contender, there was just too much wrong with it.
The asking price was about 20k more then I was willing to spend. The owners didn't want to budge on the price, as this house is about 3 or so miles away from a lake. Not on a lake, mind you, just near a lake. One positive thing about this place was, that it was almost 10 acres and it had some really nice big oak trees on the property. The drawbacks were the following.
1. I would have had to buy a stove and fridge.
2. The carpets were so threadbare that you could see the wood underneath. I would have had to replace all that.
3. The house was never wired upstairs. There were no wall outlets to use. There were only
lights on the ceiling. So if you wanted a lamp,alarm clock or any other electric item, you were out of luck!
4. UGLY inside, I mean ugly dog butt ugly! Old wallpaper, ugly paint in the kitchen. Just ugly ugly ugly!
5. And the oddest thing,there was a door on the 2nd floor that opened up to the stairs
coming up! You had about a 10 foot drop! Why a door there? Who knows!
This house is still for sale! Huh, I wonder what they are asking for it now?
crazy. I bet house hunting is a bit like car hunting. You never quite know what you are getting until you own it yourself. That funky door could have lead to your death. Then I would have inherited the dog....good thing you bought the house you did.
ReplyDeleteBoy that house looks familar...I know, that's the house over by me!!!! The house was owned by this elderly couple and they lived there for years and years. Kellie told me that you looked at that house, but I always wondered why you didn't like it or buy it. I was disappointed!!! I live about 3/4 of a mile from that house. That house probably won't sell too soon either.
