It's definitely small but workable in the short term (and by that I mean like the next 4 years which I doubt we'll stay that long).
We looked at a house to buy today that was gorgeous on the inside, a little high but still within our budget was okay looking on the outside. But then, there was a second building on the property. With a putting green. And a tiki bar half the size of the actual house. With a dart board. and two bars. All powered by EXTENSION CORDS from the actual house.
I had no words. It totally ruined a great property otherwise. the listing details has it listed as a "party house"
Kat,
that house is really great! YAY. Did you just meet the owners and agree on terms?
come ON. what's wrong with a tiki bar that isn't up to code?
That is HALF the size of the actual house? Everything.
And a putting green?! with astroturf?!
Oh! And the fridge was left in the middle of the kitchen because it was several inches taller than the space underneath the cabinetry, yet they tried to force it in? NUTSO. Also, a stove that was gorgeous but never been used and a lovely kitchen in which the only appliance that looked like it got regular use was the microwave and the coffee pot.
how can they sell a house with blatant code violations?
That there is a house that tells a very clear story about the previous owner.
This is standing at the halfway point of the tiki bar. Notice the creepy buckling in the "roof". Also, there were no windows. All the stuff that looked like windows was plastic sheeting stapled to a frame. [link]
The blue room is the second tiki bar that is half the garage. Notice the indoor blue stucco.
That there is a house that tells a very clear story about the previous owner.
But the inside of the house itself was like woman in her 40s. the kitchen, minus the misplaced fridge, was gorgeous, with subway tiling beautifully done. The master bathroom was amazing as was the main bathroom.
It was like a bipolar house.
yeah, that just needs to be torn down.
