OUT OF THE BASEMENT!

Some of you know that we had an issue with the "son living in the basement"- the cliff note version was that he wasn't really interested in leaving- so phone calls were made, faxes were sent and we just got the call today that he will be out so we can close on the 1st of February. Very exciting! So as soon as we get in the work shall begin and there will be photos to share.

The Inside

This is the living room and unfortunately the yellow walls have to go but we are going to convert the fireplace into a gas fireplace so no trees are hurt! We will just use all the fuel Iraq so freely give us!

There are a few arches in the house which they no longer really do in new homes and the walls are all solid plaster!  These are the original hardwood floors that we are going to have refinished.

This is a genuine 1950's GE kitchen which we are going to paint red and put in new appliances and countertops!

The bathroom is being gutted and this is the only picture you really want to see because the rest is just so hideous.

There are also 2 bedrooms and a dining room on the first floor- same yellow walls. The room upstairs will eventually be a master suite. There will be more pictures to come when we close on the house and we will keep you updated on things we are working on. 

The Outside

The house was built in 1934 and has a lot of character. The original owners passed away and then the uncle purchased it. The uncle recently passed away and it has been turned over to his three sons, one of which is living in the basement. He has really made the place smell great with all the smoking he does but other then that it is in pretty good shape. We close February 1st and will move in the 1st of March! The slate roof is New England slate which is the same slate that is on the roof of the Saratoga race track- it is 150 years old and will last longer then the house!
