I went and saw a house that I just absolutely adored on the Internet. In person, not so much. The Internet version of this house was fabulous. And the Internet version did let me know that the house was in need of some cosmetic TLC, so I was prepared. However, the Internet led me to believe that the house was spacious at over 2500 feet with 4 bedrooms and tons of living space and a great large backyard. In reality this is a dump. With tons and tons of cosmetic TLC that needs to be done, which we enjoy doing, however this was too much. And the fabulous tons of living space? Well I didn't see any. The walls that are just randomly in awkward places and it causes a breakdown of any flow and any precious living space. I felt like I was in a tiny fun house. UGH!!! Oh and there was no bathtub in the master bath! Bye Bye ugly house! If momma can not soak with a giant glass of wine at the end of the day it ain't gonna happen!
The one positive was a room off the master. It was connected by french doors and also had its own entry. It housed a closet. This would make a fabulous nursery and future office or sitting room, however the rest of the casa sucked a big one! Turns out that this house is a pre foreclosure, so the current owners pretty much destroyed it. Oh and talk about weird. The current owners are moved out, but happened to "stop by" while I was viewing the home to pick up some chopped wood they left in the garage. WEIRD. I know they are about to go in the forclosure and I am looking at their trashed house. EWW! Wonder if they felt as uncomfortable as I did. I took some pics and will share with you my devastating tour.

The front! Very pretty. Sorry so small mobile pic!
The weird walls that look cool but ruin the free flowing space feel!
Cool fireplace.
Backyard has potential to be fabulous.

Horrible. Needs much TLC. Would have been okay if the rest of the house was nice.
Needless to say our search is still on. I just wish that our perfect 4-5 bedroom 2 plus full baths (ummm with bathtubs) 2 car garage with a game room and big backyard would just plop into our lap ASAP, oh and that someone would offer to buy our house before we have even officially put it on the market! That would make my day! I guess until that happens I will just continue to get my house ready for market view and search the net for our dream house!

Aww, you'll find your dream house! We looked at over SEVENTY houses before we found ours! Just hang in there! :)
ReplyDeleteWe bought our first home in 2008, and it is a long and aggravating process! Let me just tell you, nothing is as good as it looks in the internet! LOL! In the end it's all worth it though, because you will have a place to call your own! :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll find it, just keep looking. You wouldn't want the first one anyways then you would always wonder what you missed out on not looking around.
