We went back to the Eastgate house tonight and took another look around. Brought my folks along, too. Left it to see another house farther up the road.
Turns out the second house, while twenty years newer, was in ten times worse shape. Totally trashed. Nasty, even. It might have been the nastiest house I’ve ever been in.
Made us appreciate what good shape the Eastgate house is in. It needs lots of updating, to be sure. But at least its all cosmetic.
you’re going about it the smart way. Pick it on the shape it’s in and the neighborhood. North Hills is a cool area.
Also, the schools in that area are good and St Timothy Hale is right around the corner. It’s a great location.
Good luck,
Scoot
