Day 2 House 2

The second house we saw today was a foreclosure. It was listed at $297k. It had a big $7k due in annual taxes. Turns out this was the favorite house of the day.

Good things:
  • Ladder in garage took you up to storage room
  • Peg board walls in garage to hold items
  • The dining room was big
  • Kitchen was open allowing you to see breakfast nook and living room
  • Main floor powder room was large
  • Cabinets in kitchen were nice. Opened on 2 sides.
  • U-shaped wrap around kitchen counter
  • Fully fenced big back yard
  • 2 story fort in back yard for Little Kat
  • Big living room off the kitchen
  • 2nd story deck off the breakfast nook
  • Back yard was level ground
  • Breakfast nook was bigger than most
  • Master bedroom bath was a tub
  • The vanity in the master bedroom bathroom was big
  • Walk in closet in master bedroom
  • All bedrooms had cable and phone jacks
  • 2nd and 4th bedrooms were good size
  • Lots of vanity space in upstairs hall bathroom
  • Second stove in basement was gas
  • Second kitchen in basement
  • Slider in basement walked out to backyard level
Bad things:
  • Some siding was falling off
  • Hardwoods in entry foyer damaged
  • Dining room had a broken window
  • Main floor powder room located way in back behind pantry
  • Water damage on board under the sink
  • Washer and dryer were in the master bedroom
  • Tub in master bedroom was nothing special
  • Master bedroom had private door to 5th bedroom
  • 3rd and 5th bedrooms were small
  • 7 foot high basement ceiling might not accommodate exercise equipment
  • Basement shower looked like it leaked causing some damage
  • Back yard was a little mushy due to water in the middle
  • No good place to park on cul de sac except driveway/garage
