New house update
We had the inspection on Friday. Overall, it went well. We need a new roof but we expected that. We were really happy to hear that the house is structurally sound. Actually, the inspector said that it was a very well built house. The main thing is the roof and we need to fix some concrete outside. The house does need work but we consider it move in ready since it's just that things are ugly. We should be in contract this next week and hopefully close on March 15th!! Here are som pics from Friday
Outside- it's an attached Tudor- don't mind all the crap she has in the front
Some of the front porch- it's pretty big for Queens- we hope to put a cute swing and bistro set outside
More porch- you can see some of the concrete that needs to be fixed
Kitchen cabinets- I don't love them but they'll do for now. We hope to fix the kitchen up next year
Cute built in separating the kitchen from the dining room
View into the kitchen from the dining room
Dining room
Master bedroom
2nd bedroom
2nd bedroom
FUGLY bathroom- it's tangerine and black- I HATE the colors and the horrible sponge job. We also hope to redo it next year. In the meantime, we'll paint over the sponging and make it solid white.
Unfinished basement. This is the 1st order of business- finishing the basement. We plan to put a 2nd bathroom in the back corner where the pole is and close off the oil tank
Backyard- John is happy that he doesn't happy that he doesn't have to mow anymore.

Re: New house update
Thanks everyone! We're now getting estimates from roofers to see how much it will cost for the roof.

Re: New house update
That's awesome, Hollie!!!!!!!  I'm so glad the inspection went well and I love all the pics!!!!
Don't worry, once you get rid of the seller's stuff and move in and start making changes it will be "home" in no time!!!

Re: New house update
Congrats Hollie!!!!!!! I cant wait to see the after pics. The previous owner really took "Sponging" to a whole new level in that pic of the bathroom!
The house has lots of potential & looks so cozy!
I'm so happy for you both & wish you the best of luck!
