House Update

Thank you all for your good luck wishes last week! Our offer was accepted on the rehab house, however when we had the house inspected on Wednesday we decided to back down since we felt it was more than we could handle. Oh well. It was fun to have that rehab fantasy for a short period of time! 

The house had multiple back up offers so the seller will have no problem getting another buyer. Unfortunately it will likely go to a contractor who will use poor quality materials and hide problems that need to be addressed. Then they will sell the home at a large profit and the next buyers will have to deal with issues in the future! Jim and I avoid looking at flipped houses for this reason. We really wanted to bring this house back to life the right way!

I did take more photos. We wanted to accent the home with more black to give her curb appeal.

 

I ate a bunch of concord grapes that are on the property while there. They taste just like Welch's grape juice!

The vintage wall paper is fabulous!

 So aren't the light fixtures!

This one is an original gas light fixture. Rare to still see today!

I love the original moulding which is in amazing shape!

This vintage stove comes with the house!

Well we are back to the drawing board with house hunting. We'll see how this coming week goes! We plan on viewing a few more homes.

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
