Toured a 1950 cape cod yesterday. Unbelievable closet space, not typical for this type of home and age. The rooms were a nice size. In the kitchen there was a 3/4 circular eating space which was so cute. All the other rooms except the kitchen, entry and bathroom had hardwood floors which were in good condition.
Now the bad stuff....the kitchen was updated with ceramic back splash and counter top. I don't know about you, but a counter top made of ceramic tiles isn't ideal. No one wants to clean grout. The kitchen floor was replaced with ceramic tiles that were dated and made the threshold higher coming from the dining room into the kitchen. Ugh!
If you are going to renovate, put the money to good and not dated material and install it correctly. Do your homework....watch HGTV, look at magazines etc.
After seeing the main floor and upstairs we moved to the so called finished basement. I don't know what was worse....the smell, paneling, stained drop ceiling or the electrical tape on the wiring of the ceiling fixture.
Cute house but has some issues including the tax assessment that keeps young buyers at bay.
