The(flippin')Victorians bought another house on Thursday. The one I shall call Lap House, because it fell into Hick's lap without any search or real estate listing or sign in the yard. It was a call with an offer to sell, from an old guy referred to Hick by the old guy we bought the Double Hovel from.
In true Hick photography faux pas fashion, the picture is from the BACK of the house!
Lap House is on The Pony's street. Three doors down. It's a nice wide street. This is a corner lot with a decent size back yard. That's the entrance to the partial basement. Much better than a crawlspace for flippers, because it's easy access for plumbing and electric and ductwork.
Across the street is an apartment building. It used to be an elementary school, which is pretty obvious to me from the windows. Next to Lap house is an old church. I don't think there is any activity there these days. I never see any cars or people. Whoever eventually buys Lap House will have better-than-average privacy, with a street on one side, an abandoned church on the other side, an alley in the back, and apartments across the street. I don't expect those residents will be hanging out in front, or complaining about goings-on.
More pictures as they become available.
That looks like a decent sized house, good yard space too. I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for more pictures.
ReplyDeleteI already told Hick that I need a picture of the front. We'll see. He's taking Pepper to get more puppy shots Monday, but he might have time before. I have a side view, and a couple interior photos.

ReplyDeleteBe careful you don't throw out a knee with all that dancing!
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHick just paid the insurance about a half hour ago. He turned on the water and gas and electric the afternoon we signed papers at the closing. Lap House is ready to go!
DeleteI like this one! Can't wait to see what Hick does with it.
ReplyDeleteThe outside looks good. The inside has an odd configuration. We'll see Hick's vision as it progresses.
