House Hunting Part 2
House Hunting
3. This house (above). Beautiful on the outside. Lovely terrace. We could drive inside the fence and park. But the inside....not so good! The front door enters into the kitchen, a big no-no for me! No kitchen cabinets, instead they built a huge island to put the appliances into. I refuse to walk from one side of the kitchen to use the stove and walk to the other side to use the sink. Where does the food go and the dishes???? They also had an unfinished wood stove/chimney right inside the door. I wish I would have taken the camera that day. No room for a table either.
The bathroom was hideous. They said it was a new build but that toilet was OLD!! No tub. Some weird shower set up with a huge built in seat. I couldn't figure out how a person would wash themselves.
2 bedrooms (we need 3)...the first would barely fit a matrimonial bed. No room for an armadio. Plus the back door was in there! WTF! The second bedroom was also very small with room for a single! Where is my kid gonna play?
Then to the other side of the house - one HUGE room with a sink cabinet in the middle. A huge barn type door in the wall.
Then they told us they wants €325,000 for it. Forget that one!
4. This is the next house we saw. It had a lovely patio but the house was just too small and the bathrooms were gross. And there was a spiral staircase. The man wants €195,000. Forget that one!
This post is getting long...I must make a part 2.
