I looked around for a long time, and finally found a house for a great price in a good neighborhood. This is currently a 3 story house with 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a basement.
Big Problems:
-There is an addition on the back that is falling off (one of the baths)
-Bad Roof (and resulting water damage)
-Sloppy plumbing (and resulting water damage)
-Crummy wiring
-Was originally a duplex, I am converting it back to
-Bad Windows (Need lots of work, or replacement)
Big Projects:
-Basement: Finish Basement & Add 1/2 bath (powder room)
-First Floor: New Kitchen, Redo ceilings in Living Room & Kitchen, Fix Plaster, Add stairs (bottom 4 are missing), take out some walls to re-open the floor plan (back to original)
-Second Floor: Convert 2nd Kitchen to Master Bedroom, convert adjacent bedroom to big walk-in closet & master bathroom, Re-do Bathroom
-Third Floor: Plaster work, lay carpet, redo- bathroom
-Exterior: New Roof, Aluminum Soffit & Facia, Possibly Replace Windows
PICTURES!
Entry was a mirror wall (due to division into duplex)
Fixed :-)
Not sure why this wall was added...
This one was added when it was converted to a duplex
