Ok.....when viewing these photos you need to look for the POTENTIAL the house has lol
It's been on the market for over a year now...so the landscape is SERIOUSLY overgrown plus they were smokers so the walls are yucky! But we're gonna take our time working on it and making it into something that we've dreamed of (sooo cheesy, I know but Hey, it's to fun!) it's located RIGHT outside of Huntington Village (couldn't ask for a greater location!) We could walk to town!!
omg!! i love it! you have big rooms! its going to be a great house!
congrats!!

A house is a house---and with today's market you should be so proud of yourself. I went to look at a similar house yesterday in Deer Park. The asking price was $415,000. It was deff a handy man special and it was in deer park which isn't an upper class neighborhood, yet at least.
So congrats!!! Good luck and I see just as much potential in it as you do. A lot of the rooms are actually very nice.
Gooood luck!

Congrats on your new house! Just remember it's not what it looks like now, but what you turn it into that counts!! And it's gonna be great!!! My bro & bf live in Huntington...it's soooo nice there!
The house I live in was my great uncle's & he smoked in it for 40 years!!! Needless to say the 'white' walls were yellow!
Here's what we did to clean the smokey walls & rid the house of the smell:
1) we literally scrubbed the walls & ceilings with scrub brushes & a mixture of water & i think something made for this purpose (this was back in '97 so i can't remember exactly..haha) HomeDepot should have it...
2) then we used a special primer to kind of seal any left over smell in before painting
it was back breaking work but worth it to rid the house of the stench! good luck!!
Great Idea-I also know that Zimmer Primer gets stains out and turns any color walls to white with one coat! GOOD LUCK & Congrats with your NEW HOME!!!
