House #3

Yes, I skipped to house #3...I sadly did not take pictures of house #2, but we didn't end up liking it anyways. 

House #3
Lake Orion, MI
(Keatington Subdivision)

Now I am not crazy about the location ONLY because I grew up in Lake Orion and it feels kinda weird to be back. I also remember spending a lot of time in this particular subdivision because it has a lake in the subdivision with beach and lake privileges. It's just weird to be contemplating being back here. 

BUT

The house seems nice. It is a short sale and needs some work, 
but I do really like the curb appeal.


Kitchen
Updated kitchen is nice (don't mind the weird paint job in the next room..weird). We would however tear up all the flooring on the main level and put in hardwood floors throughout and replace the counters with granite.

Living Room
BUTT UGLY! 
Try to look past the cosmetic things. We would paint the walls a neutral color, re-do the lighting to have just a ceiling fan, new carpet, and notice the built-ins around the fireplace- those would be painted as well.

Backyard 
It's do-able. Small deck area that we might eventually extend to make an actual deck or probably a patio. Some of the trees we would take down as well.

I would post more pictures but they are just of rooms. Nothing exciting. 

House #3
4 bedroom
2 FULL baths
One 1/2 bath on main floor
1st floor laundry
decent asking price
ability to have a 203K renovation loan
Lake access for boating & beach access
When the economy turns around we would make around $100,000 if we sold

IF we bought this house I would want the colors to mimic this house.

So Beautiful

And their house started like this


Very similar to House #3's color scheme :-)
