Okay, this house didn't sell me in pictures. For one, they are asking our max, max budget. It's not crazy nice, kinda a dump. We went and looked though because James wanted to see it. Wow. It's so nice. It's a dump but at the same time, it's so nice.
We looked at it in the dark. A bad, bad thing, I know. Our agents husband just bought her a headlamp, it came in quite handy. This house has an epic view of Double Bluff. It's a sunset view. It has a wall of windows. It has huge rooms. Huge! Some of the biggest I have ever been in. It has a hot tub. It has a sauna. The downstairs is so huge it's already set up for renting it out.
What a dump though. You walk in and you are hit with a closet. The carpet on your left hand side needs to be replaced. It looks like water damage but doesn't smell wet. Doesn't feel wet. The house has a new roof so it can't be from a leaky roof. Somehow though a lot of something seeped into the carpet. A lot. What it is is anyone's guess. The kitchen has vinyl flooring from the 60s. There's a lot of whacko paint jobs. The living room is epic huge. One of the upstairs bedrooms was converted into a laundry room. There used to be a very sick, dying man living there.
The downstairs has no carpeting. It's the real mess. I don't know too much detail about it because like I said, it was pitch black when we saw it and I was following a head lamp with Kiki in my arms. I did see what looked like rot on the floor when we were heading back upstairs. Shellie brushed it off with "Oh that. That's where they kept a huge aquarium with snakes". Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's a real problem.
We decided though to go for it. It's HUD and supposedly the offer we put in will be decided upon within a few days. James did some research on it and over the last year it has fluctuated in price greatly. Its been within our budget and its been severely out of our budget. We are going to offer less than the asking. We are also going to look at it in the light. Just to make sure. But we are pretty sure, even knowing what we know, that it would be stupid not to try and get it. That's the kind of place ballers live.
