Looking at yet another new house...

[WillParkinson]

This one looks pretty nice.

1. Looks really nice. But how nice is the neighborhood.

That is a really good price. But 3 bedrooms and only 1 bathroom?

[WillParkinson]

2. Cudahy is a pretty decent place...

Or at least was when I still lived there.

And we'll deal with the bathroom situation if the needs arise.

[Shagbark Hickory]

10. Seriously, how?

Gonna go take a crap at the neighbor's house?

You'll just have to take my word for it... Get at least two bathrooms.

[WillParkinson]

13. Unless we're able to adopt a child...

There's only 2 of us. And Paul says it's listed as a 1.5 bathroom on the records he's looking at. We have an appointment Sunday to look so we'll check to be sure then.

(As for taking a crap at the neighbor's house...if you didn't see me I didn't do it.)

16. It only takes two people to create a log jam after some bad food or overindulgence.

But as long as you got a .5 then your bases are covered.

[WillParkinson]

17. Log jam....

I see what you did there. :P

20. We lived for 25 years in a 2 BR, one bath household with 2 girls. It's fine.

It was a really small bathroom too! Good luck and hope you find the dream house!

22. The house I grew up in had only one full bathroom

and there were 3 kids. My parents eventually added a half-bath downstairs, but by that time I was in high school. We got by with only one full bathroom for over 14 years. It's not that big a deal.

5. It looks to be an older home so that's pretty typical

Looks well maintained from what I can see.

3. nice. Don't give up. The house you need is waiting for you.

at least that's what my wife and I though when we were looking.

BTW if that house were here in Oakland, CA it would cost anywhere from 400 - 800k or more depending on the neighborhood.

[Suich]

4. I can't believe how cheap it is!

Would be at least 300K here. It looks like it's been really well kept-up!

I love the style!

Good luck!

6. I like it...

the kitchen is very nice...so is the yard. The price seems very reasonable. Also, I like the location near the lake. By the way, we raised four children (3 daughters) in a 3-bedroom house with one bathroom. We still live in that house and have survived just fine.
Good luck to you!

7. much better shape than the other, nice backyard, too.

8. this is kinda fun will. even if you dont get, still looking is cool. the right house always came

our way.

9. I'm confused...

What is picture #6 a picture of?

[Shagbark Hickory]

11. That would be the gorgeous turn of the century antique crapper.

[mockmonkey]

14. You know,

I was thinking, is this some kind of a toilet? I thought nah it can't be. Now the question is, if I lift the giant lid will it be a one seater or two?

[WillParkinson]

15. It says it's a Mud Room...

An entryway is a hall that is generally located at the front entrance of a house. An entryway often has a coat closet, and usually has linoleum or tile flooring rather than carpet, making it an easy-to-clean transition space between the outdoor and indoor areas. Many houses do not have an entryway; in these the front door leads to a foyer, or directly into the living room or some other room in the house.

Many suburban American houses have a mud room, a casual, generally secondary entryway intended as an area to remove and store footwear, outerwear, and wet clothing before entering the main house. As well as providing storage space, a mud room serves to increase the cleanliness of a house proper. They can often double as laundry room.

In the Slavic culture the entryway is called sieni or sien. Such an entry room was a transitional room which served as a storage for the outdoor clothing or footwear. In rural areas such room traditionally also used as a lobby separating other rooms of a house such as a storage, bedroom, and others.

12. Very nice, my dear WillParkinson!

Nice layout, and lots of bedrooms...

Pretty yard too.

:hi:

[trueblue2007]

18. gorgeous. if that house was here in oregon, would cost A LOT MORE

[RebelOne]

19. Even in Georgia, that house would go for at least $100,000. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Same for my part of Maine.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Looks like a very nice place. I especially like the floors.

I think one reason the price is relatively low is that there's no garage, which is a bit of a drawback but not a deal-killer, IMO. When I bought my house 20 years ago there wasn't a garage, and not even a parking area like this house has. A few years later I had an area in the back yard paved so I didn't have to park on the street (a big hassle in winter in these parts), and eventually I had a 2-car garage built. But I don't think I could have afforded a house with a garage at the time.

If you get this house, you could always add a garage later. They really are nice to have.

23. It does look nice, but be careful what you post.

There are freeper stalkers that roam these boards for the purpose of determining Duers identities and harassing them any way they can.

[Shagbark Hickory]

27. ^^^ +1 ^^^

[blaze]

24. This is so much fun!

Thanks for sharing your house hunting with us!

Love that mudroom!

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. ooh! And it looks like it's a finished house this time too, with lot of big bedrooms for kids or

company. Do you know much about this neighborhood, the schools, and all that yet?

:hug:

28. con somebody post a few of the pix? I can't seem to get the link to load at all

shitty dial-up don't like real estate pages for some reason

I'm with whoever above said this is kind of fun searching with you vicariously on the tubes.

[pacalo]

31. Here you go, Kali...

[Kali]

32. THANK YOU!

you are so sweet, pacalo

[pacalo]

33. Glad to help!

:hi:

29. This appears to be in much better condition than the previous house.

There are no pictures of the basement, though. That, in the previous place, spoke of a world of problems, both financial and in time invested, to correct.

I highly recommend buying a house with the fewest problems, because there will be those you can't anticipate, anyways.

Sweat equity isn't all that, especially once you start having children and time disappears completely.

[polly7]

30. Very nice!

So much character ... and 9' ceilings! Good luck, I hope you get what you're looking for.

[Kali]

34. looks to be in much better condition

at least these pix

love the red mudroom
