somewhat bummed
We drove out to see the house today. We were supposed to have an appointment. We got out there and waited and waited. Nobody showed. My parents had both come too, so there was quite a mess of us hanging around a strangers yard. *snigger*
Finally we used my moms cell-phone and called. No answer. Left a message and waited a bit more. Finally cell-phone guy returns call and tells us there was a family emergency and a "friend" has the key...to call her and she'll let us in.
So she comes about five minutes later. Unfortunately however she only has the key to the downstairs. The house is currently being rented out in two pieces. The bottom piece is empty, the top piece the lady is being evicted. They think she's flown the coop already.
The bottom is small...and poorly laid out. The kitchen dining room area is lovely. The living room is rather strange and has this stupid hall wall that is just USELESS and taking up much needed living space.
The bathroom...well it just left us shaking our head. HUGE I mean HUGE. But nothing in it. NO storage, no extra closet space. Just one GIGANTIC room with a huge jacuzzi style tub and a shower. You have to walk passed this to get to another HUGE room to the sink and toilet. Now if they had reversed this order...I'd be slightly more intrested. But just strange. *snigger*
And only one room that is really really small downstairs which they were calling a "bedroom" Yeah right.
VERY clean, lovely nice paint, and some well done stencils here and there.
But, we haven't seen the upstairs so *shrugs* we can't decide until we do.
Based on the downstairs probably we would say no...as the living room is TEENSY. But we can't base a 2200 square foot 3 story house on one floor. Soooooooooooooo we will try one more time.
I'm gonna call the owner again and try hard to be polite (it was an emergency LOL) And then take it from there.

Ohhhh... I hate that. We tried so hard to rent that wonderful farmhouse a couple years ago and despite repeated phone calls, no answers... we had to give up -- and that place was in primo order, owned by just one family over 80 years plus. I think they freaked out at the last moment about renting the house. I would have too.
Much thoughts to you. *hugs*

My downstairs bath used to be a bedroom. It's 15' by 16'! We have the washer/dryer in there, and a large chest style freezer. We had thought about putting doors in, to hide the "stuff" and maybe adding a pantry, but I just never cared enough. It's nice to have the space, and it's a real conversation starter! LOL
