[quote=eavesdropper]BG, I’m in complete agreement with you on this one. This house has a boatload of potential, and a lot of it would not be expensive to do yourself if you were reasonably handy (i.e., not a total klutz). I’d love to get my hands on this place. Did you catch that ocean view? For $189 per sf? Why, oh why, do I have to live in DC (the land of spray-on tans)?
Brian, I’m surprised at you! You’re an astute individual. And you’re commenting on CHAIRS? Handy tip: Bad taste is everywhere. Ocean views: not so much.
I wouldn’t get rid of the fireplace: it’s nicely done, and it fits the era of the house without dating it. I think you’d be surprised at the difference the right hardwood flooring and paint scheme would make. Brian, I’m betting that I could make you lust after this house. I totally agree with you about the excess concrete, but that’s fixable (time-consuming, expensive if contracted out, but definitely do-able!). Again, I think you’d be floored by the transformation.
Wanttobuy, two words: SUBMIT OFFER! (purchase only after an thorough inspection by a highly qualified individual, of course)
BG, if Wanttobuy doesn’t jump on it, let’s you and I go in on it!![/quote]
Okay, if we are successful in scoring it, can we have joint parties with cheap wine and invite sdr and his “Attila the Hun” friend(s) over ?? (inside joke ;=])
