Here are some BEFORE pictures of 168 Mills Street. Just a warning, the pictures aren't pretty, but the bones of the house are solid. Most of the issues are cosmetic. The biggest problem is resulting from some missing shingles/roofing on the attic dormer. There is some water damage in the front bedroom and the living room. Additionally, the house has sat empty for 4 years. The constant hot/cold/hot/wet combination has caused the paint to peel in some of the rooms.
Front of the house. Not sure if I'll keep the overhang on the front or not. |
Back/side of the house. |
Front porch. Will make a GREAT 2-3 season room. |
Standing in the living room/dining room near the front door. Ceiling shows the water damage. |
Reverse view - a little dark, but shows the area of water damage. |
Taken from the dining room into the kitchen - paint peeling. |
OLD kitchen cabinets. Not a lot of space and an OLD "pepto" pink swirled counter tops/back-splash. |
Back bedroom - note the beautiful wood window. |
This room may have the worst paint peeling issues. The ceiling is fine, not even cracked. Just paint! |
1 bathroom. Ugly, but not horrible. |
Middle bedroom, the smallest. Interesting lay out -- two entry doors on either side. |
Front bedroom - some water damage. |
Stay tuned! It's a work in progress.
