Day 3 House 4


Normally I only like to see 3 houses max on any given day. However there was one more that looked good on paper. It listed at $298k. It was a short sale. Taxes were 5k, which is not bad. The show stopper for Momoko was that Kit Kat would have to change high schools if we moved here.
The Good:
  • Front yard shrubs were nice
  • Little porch in front yard
  • Big dining room
  • Fancy columns between living room and dining
  • Privacy fence all around back yard
  • Breakfast nook had a cathedral ceiling
  • Gas stove cooking
  • Nice counter tops
  • Had a fireplace
  • Cathedral ceilings in master bedroom
  • Double vanity in master bedroom bath
  • Walk in closet in master bedroom
  • Big tub in master bedroom bath
  • Separate shower in master bedroom
  • Laundry was on the top level
  • Bedroom #3 had an ok size closet
  • Bedroom #4 was ok sized floor
  • Basement had a shower
  • Double sized gate in back of rear yard
  • Nice little deck out back
The Bad:
  • Little Kat thought pieces of the roof were falling off
  • Back yard muddy, even with some puddling due to rain
  • Back yard was small
  • Slope of back yard down toward house
  • Hardwood floors on stairs up and top level hall
  • Two story entry foyer wasted space
  • Bedroom #2 was small
  • Basement floor was mostly tiled
  • Ceiling crack in the basement
  • Limited counter space

Looks like you had a full weekend of house hunting. They all seem nice, wish I could afford one. Still hoping for that lottery win.
