[quote=ucodegen][quote=USMCBunny]Is a “6′ x6′ cold plunge pool with a pump” the same thing as a hot tub with a busted heating element?[/quote]
I noticed that.. It looks like they ‘tried’ to get the heater working, then gave up. The one of the hot tub – er – ‘cold plunge pool’ cover panels has been removed to get access to the heating element – and then just propped up against the side.
You also don’t have to worry about mirrored closet doors, they were replaced by something that looks like the side of large a packing crate. – see the reflection in the round mirror.
Turquoise 1/4 round is also falling off the lower edge of the bathtub – see last photo. Water might be getting behind the tile.[/quote]
Lol, you nailed it, ucodegen!
Back on the subject of this thread, I was perusing RE last night in my old stomping grounds of about 36 yrs ago, Denver, CO. I just want to inform Piggs that if you don’t mind snow, wind and summer heat, the mid-century brick ranch is still alive and well there! As a matter of fact, there are many cosmetic fixers currently available in Denver’s finest ‘hoods, all on 9K to 20K sf lots, many with full basements and within 2-8 miles of dtn! This particular property is located about 8 mi SE of dtn, and used to be referred to as the infamous “Southmoor Downs” subdivision. I’ve been to several parties there in my “younger days.” I just noticed it has its own zip code now, lol. And some of the old subd’s there were partially renamed.
I also noticed that many Denver “mid-century” brick ranches have the “American Standard” preservation thing going on, thus all the turquoise, bright blue, pink, baby blue, and warm beige china has been preserved in the bathrooms, clear up to the black-seahorse trim around the bathtubs. This evokes many memories for me and I LUV IT ALL!!!
Below is a link of pics from an “estate sale” with a (orig professionally-landscaped) forest in the backyard, lol! It is now within blocks of a “light-rail stn” to dtn (similar to SD trolley). Check out the “curved-window wall” in the MBR and the ornate master bath. Hands down, the FP totally does it for me. THIS HOUSE is SO ME and I want it but can’t leave the area right now … so sad! Aside from doing a few minor upgrades in the kitchen and cleaning up the B/Y (it’s a low-water usage B/Y), I probably wouldn’t change a thing!
And, best of all, the “asking price” is only $450K! It probably needs an expensive new roof right away, but you will be shocked, Piggs. A LOT of bang for the buck. Enjoy the link!
