House hunting WTFs

[Deleted]

I shouldn't torment myself looking when we're not really going to be serious about it until next year but oh well. 

Sure - a pic of your cat on old blanket is appropriate.


$460k house. Yep. The second pic on your listing should be this one.



So it's not all whining, here's the house I love. It would need some paint rework, like the red room you can see through that doorway, but it's amazing. We'd jump now but it's a bit out of our budget and we need the time to save more. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll still be around. It's been on the market for two months so maybe it's not as perfect as the pictures make it seem. 

However, I'd have to tear some cabinets/counter out to fit my giganto French door fridge. Is it just me or does it seem like the fridge space in that kitchen was an afterthought? Like - OMG we forgot to put a space in for the fridge!




I could even see the girls playing in the yard. NM homes don't have grass. We had to install ours. Everything has rock. 



Those sheers are weird. They'd have to go.

Nice house!

Thats a really nice house. Only 460? That seems low. Where do you live?

Nice!

Let me clarify. The toilet house is 460. The pretty one is not.

That's a nice house, but it looks like FormerlyRR' feral cat! AM I RIGHT?!

The brick on that house is awful and there seems to be a lot of wasted space when it comes to how much space is taken up by hallways. And that spot for the fridge looks small, but is in a pretty normal space for the style of kitchen.

I love the herringbone floors in the first bathroom.

came here to say this.

I'm just going to keep going. Those cabinets aren't all that nice. Seem very builder grade to me. And WTF is going on with the island? The decorative trim for the tile is kind of dated and not easily changed or hidden. The yard seems nice, but if you are in ABQ, is grass that practical?

Grass isn't practical but we have it now and it's not bad to maintain. With kids we don't want them running around in rocks.

I love the size of the kitchen. We'd definitely change the color of the cabinets. I like the size of the house and the fact that it has five bedrooms. I think it'd be something we'd make our own. We currently have cherry with black appliances, so it'd be something we'd work on as we went.
