Nice Kensington example if your occupation is in Center City SD. Just add a half bath and update water heater to gas demand, clean-up a couple of details in the existing bath and add enhancements into that little galley kitchen…all over time. What’s with those fans? Okay, maybe ten uncomfortable days out of the year. Still, it’s one of the best climates on earth, so use some small period lights from Rejuvenation Supply and call it home. Nice.

This is one house where a paint really would add 30k in value.
That color combo is so ugly it makes blind people cry.

It’s amazing a family could live happily in 1400 square feet in 1930.
You’d have to decide real quick what is quality possessions and what is junk.

Aren’t like half of these Mill’s Act houses. Get that blue off could this qualify?

The blue paint and foundation issues may be enough to make this otherwise well priced home languish in today’s market.
They painted the interior too; if the same guys would have hit the exterior with a heavy coat of white, there would be multiple offers by now.

I’ll tell you Jim, I had an inspection done about two months ago and I thought the report was a useless document. I will bring in trades to do the next. What I got in the report were things I could see. And the disclaimers were total CYB.

Nice house, if there are no structural issues. Should appeal to young families and retirees.

Very nice house – really dig the old Spanish style and original touches. I might have missed something in the kitchen, though: does it have a refrigerator? Where is it / would it go?
Also, any update on the other Spanish-style house featured a few months ago? (the one you were hanging a door ornament on in the video?)

Agreed.

Batchelder tile, or very similar.

Great review, Jim. Thanks. Love this house.
