I went to see this a while ago, in the early spring. I think I just wanted to find out what the hell the green triangular thing was. It was a sad story, it looked like the family that had been living there left in a big hurry. A child's textbook was in one of the bedrooms, along with lots of other detritus, and the whole place stank of rotting food and cat piss.
The triangular thing is a separate entrance to a tiny downstairs apartment, where I believe some stray cats are living now. The windows on the green thing are some kind of plexiglass material.
The main part of the house is typical "mid-century" one-level. The front room has a large, ugly fireplace. There is a room off to the side that looks like an enclosed porch, that is painted bright peach. The general effect from just the front rooms is that it might not be too bad if it were cleaned up and renovated.
The house has one major issue that trumps all of the ones already mentioned here: there is no driveway and nowhere to park. The house is perched on a hill with a steep walkway up to the front door. Adjacent houses have driveways but this house does not. You must park your car around the block, walk around and then up the steep front steps. There is no access from the back. I can't imagine who would buy this house, as I think that issue makes it almost unlivable in today's society.

jsut get a curb cut from the county and then dig out a driveway.
ReplyDeleteWow as soon as you said "triangular thing" I knew exactly which house you were talking about. My friends and I call this the "triangle house" I never saw the inside, and from you description I don't think I'd want to. The location is ok but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm surprised the family has moved out and it's still a short sale, wonder when/if the bank is going to bother to foreclose.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but it's on it's second MLS listing now.
ReplyDeletePat - not a lot of room there, and you'd have to re-grade because the slope is too steep. Looks expensive to me but I have never had that kind of work done.
