The area is not great – loud, lots of trash on street… but definitely improving. I assume it will be bought and flipped as the flippers are moving North of Kennedy St now.

as you face away from north, east, and south capitol, or the mall, even numbers on left, odd on right.

I’m pretty sure it’s different in the other quadrants, but I remember only how it is in my own.

Looks decent but all I care about is that all of the sh!t spilling out of the entryway closet comes with the house. Is it really that hard to throw that sh!t into a big trash bag before taking the picture? Wow, apparently so.

I’d say the price is right if the condition of the other rooms is consistent with the ones shown. If there’s in mold in the basement though like bag it said then count me out… unless, of course, you throw in the extra sh!t we talked about…

If the house has a working kitchen and bathrooms, then this a great deal and a great starter house. The living room and dining room look clean and nice, and the floors appear to be in really good shape. Slap some paint on it and spend money as you are able to on upgrades, and you have a sweet place to live. Love an enclosed porch.

interesting. so if you parked in the garage, you’d have to walk back out the alley to the front of the house?

if there is a fire, you can’t leave the premise through the back of the house?
