#12 Less than Right
Many angles, that is, were not exactly 90 degrees. We saw this one last weekend but I am being lazy and distracted. Just about 20 minutes away, nice looking neighborhood, 2 acres. Sort of 70s modern, open and a funny angled roof.
But the house is practically on the back line so any future development back there would seem very close. And it was just not in very good shape - low spots in the floors, renovations that were not very elegant, very cheap cabinets in the kitchen, spots of past water damage on the ceilings. There was a sort of crossbar over the bottom of the stairs which was not really level. It has been unoccupied for a while as well it seemed, as it was very stuffy and a little bit moldy in some spots.
Nope.
Overall, we are still torn between our various options, given that our first preference (find perfect beautiful nearby affordable land on which to build) doesn’t seem to be working out in a timely fashion. So… stay where we are for a few more years and do some sort of renovation or addition to provide studio space? Find someplace that is cheap and easy to renovate into something like what we want (also not so easy)? Find someplace that’s decent and has studio options and go there for a few years, but keep working on the land-building idea?
