The house hunt.


Lets start off with a good one.
This is the house that was bought by a father for his son and his son's friends. Isn't the patched white siding in the lower right corner of the house nice?
Yes it does look like college boys live here and believe me it smelled like it too. It is also a good thing you can't see what is on those posters. We could have named it the porno house.

This is the beautiful green kitchen. Now just imaging garbage bags filled with beer and Jack Daniels bottles all over the floor. Which is where this house got it's name, the Jack Daniels house.This house was actually quite nice. It was named the 2 tone house because as you can see it is two different colors. Not because it was meant to be that way but someone just got tired of painting. This picture doesn't look that bad but there are brush marks on the white siding and white where the gray should be. Not the best paint job.This is the bathroom that you have to walk through to get from one side of the house to the other.


This is the kitchen it was cute. We decided not to go with this house because it sits in between 2 busy streets and when we went to see it, it had flooded. It wasn't in that great of shape, it is also far from the university.
This is the warren house because it was on warren street we could have called it the filthy college house or the guy sleeping with 2 girls in filth house. When we came to see this house, first it stunk like morning breath and college boys. Then we were greeted by a boy coming out of his bedroom in his boxers and 2 scantily clad girls following him. Needless to say one was wearing a zebra bra, that is how scantily they were. The house was piled high with garbage clothes and dishes. Needless to say I think those girls need to find a new guy.
Nice wood panels!
The Awkward kitchen, not that we could see what it actually looked like when we went to see the house.
This is the dog house. The pictures are not too bad but once a person has 2 dogs that pee on the floors and rip up the wall paper and the blinds and is a hoarder it is hard to look at the homes potential.
trust me the living room did not look like this. The smell in this house was so bad that when we walked in it was like a wall. The first thing out of our Realtor's mouth was OH MY G**. It smelled that bad.
So we basically ran through the house and out the door and the second things out of her mouth was, "they are never going to sell that house!"
This is the harry potter house. It was actually one of the nicest houses that we saw. The owners kept it in good condition but it is a little small for the asking price.
The nice bright living room.
We called it the harry potter house because the second bedroom which wasn't big enough for a bed was under the stairs so it was like a closet under the stairs. Get it?
This was the Hoarder of all Hoarder houses. There were no inside pictures listed on MLS I wonder why? If anyone has seen the show buried on TLC they would have been great contenders, it was that bad. nuff said.
This was a cute house with a lot of character, maybe too much. The ceilings and walls were popcorn textured. It did have a lot of rooms and high ceilings but the kitchen was small and there was literally no parking. A tree had grown up where the parking spot was so you had to pull in front of the tree. so if someone parks next to you you are stuck.
This was the only inside picture.
And this concludes the house hunt. Yeah. It was an interesting experience and there were reasons that these houses have been on the market so long.
