The House with the PINK bathroom


We've been doing some biking lately
On one of our rides we noticed an Open House sign at a home we toured  4 years ago 

When we discussed why we didn't buy it, the only thing we could come up with was- The Price Tag

It's on the market again for 30K less 

We decided to go back on Sunday to see what improvements the last owners made

I couldn't believe it - There were NONE

 I take that back
 They put up a fence that doesn't even run the length of the property line {tiny back yard}
and
The seller state of condition states they had the home treated for pests


Talk about disappointed
We were reminded why we didn't buy the house

Small Bedrooms 
1 PINK bathroom, 1 very out dated bathroom and 1 "just plain nasty" bathroom 
Old Wiring with Ancient Outlet covers
Velour Wall Paper {I'm not kidding}
Musty Basement with obvious water damage
Outrageous Property Taxes
The lovely view from the living room windows is now blocked by a newly built house
An Ancient Built in Stove {Basically the kitchen would need gutted}

And then there were little things-

The ugly white nobs on the dark wood kitchen cabinets
A coat closet so small the hubbies Carhart coat and bibs wouldn't fit in it
No main floor laundry 
Chandeliers



And we were reminded why we didn't by the house with the pink bathroom


Isn't it grand?
{It would be with another hundred grand put into it}

You can check out more pictures here
They didn't include pictures of the PINK bathroom - I wonder why
