The kitchen layout is definitely - unique. It's not a bad layout but it's definitely different. Perfect word for it luckyval. It looks like you can redo it for a fairly minimal investment though. The rest of the house has been well done. And it looks like it has the potential for a good ROI.
I'd rebrick around the mulch area before I bothered about paving around the pool. It looks like it can be rather unstable and it can certainly look nicer.
(eta: put in an offer to include the barstools. Three bar height and one counter height. Save you the trouble of having to locate a "matching set" later. lol.)
