The third house Kim took us was in even worse shape than the second house. As soon as you walked in, the strong smell of smoke met your nostrils and made my eyes tear. The carpet was in even worse shape. The last residents seemed to have Velcroed area rugs to the main carpet. I guess this prevents slippage, but carpet on carpet really doesn’t slip and the Velcro ruins the carpet. The last residents had actually left at least one side of the Velcro on the carpet – some places both sides were still there, meaning they had ripped the rug right off of the Velcro!
The walls in this place also needed a fresh coat of paint, but that wasn’t as bad as the title in the kitchen or the appliances. Many titles were chipped that you would have to at least re-do sections of the counter tops. New owners would have no choice but to replace the appliances – it was so disgusting in there both Kim and I were tempted to use hand sanitizer when we left even though we didn’t touch any of them. The backyard was a nice size, but there was no landscaping, and there was no cemented path to the backyard, just weeds to blaze through. The other interesting things about this house were its severely slanted driveway – you would always want to set the parking break on this one - and how narrow it was. The dining room felt more like an extra wide hallway than an actual room.
One of the bedrooms showcased the creative crayon works of the past owners’ children on the walls and the master bath still had a lipstick love note scrawled across it. We also found mice dropping in the corner of the master bedroom.
