Let Downs

We finally got pictures of the other house we're considering, on Van Buren. Surprisingly, this one doesn't look as salvageable as 28th St, even though the original views we had of it seemed to suggest otherwise. Of course, the listing agent probably took the best possible shots and left the rest out, so I should have expected this. It looks like someone demo'd the porch and put an asbestos-shingled addition on the rear, a la 1940's. Except for the Living/Dining Rooms the interior is really weirdly chopped up and dinky. The neighborhood looks a little nicer, that and the original interior trim plus slightly larger yard are the only things this house has on 28th St. The renter next door has mean dogs and there's a registered sex offender living three houses down, so apparently in this case looks are not all they're cracked up to be. Oh well, here are the pics of this Quasimodo. Take a gander!
