I picked through my email this morning and these three homes were in there as well as lots of others. These three really caught my eye though.
Nicely Landscaped Colonial
The outside pictures of this one are really nice looking. Wood siding and fresh paint really caught my attention. What I liked the most though is the covered porch. I have always talked with my wife about having a house with a covered porch with columns and a railing. Of course we want the porch swing as well. Our swing would look great here too.
Big Colonial In Great Neighborhood
This place needs to be updated from top to bottom but that is what appeals to me about it. The house is “A Very Brady House”. You can often snatch these homes up at a good discount and by doing the work yourself add a lot of equity. Even if you hired a contractor for the updates I think you would still come out way ahead with this house. The price of this house was just reduced.
Remodeled Cape Close To The Water
Honestly, this place was remodeled as inexpensively as possible. I think the location is great and the outside is a blank canvas. (I would like to do my own landscaping here.) The inside though leaves something to be desired for me. The listing says granite counters but it looks like some other sort of solid surface counter top. Formica maybe? Wood paneling and too much brick in the living room for my tastes. This house has a second fireplace. What room is that? Some sort of den?
It is freshly painted and the bathrooms look new. I don’t like those slip in showers though. I like tile. Lots of new windows and a two car garage out back. I really like the pool.
The listing says beatifully remodeled. I think nicely remodeled is a word we can use here in some parts of the house. Other parts not so much. Beautifully might be a strong word.
I think I am being to hard on this house. Was it a flip? It’s nice but it’s just not for me. I would hate to rip out some of those brand new fixtures and toss the kitchen in the trash. Much of it is new but it’s not my taste.
