The Second House

Near the DC line, this is one of those houses we overpaid for for what we got. It's sort of a lemon and we undid a lot of what the flipper did to it - we call it, "un-Home Depot-izing".  But it was still cheaper than paying rent and we got land to go with it and there's some nice parks right in our back yard. I'll dig around for a front yard picture of the house.  The house was built circa 1925 - so it's doing pretty good for being almost 100 years old and likely suffering several bad, decades-old renovations and a possible fire.  I'm in the process of seeking out historic documents of the neighborhood because we've heard from neighbors that the tiny houses here were built to house Veterans after WWI.

This is a tiny alcove off the kitchen.  We were using it as a pantry until we renovated.

  


Bathroom - sorry for the angle - not much to see anyway
Single bedroom on second floor.

 Absolutely Horrid kitchen.  Again Home Depot-ized.












Living room, stairs - the front door opens up to this room. 
Ignore the disarray - we plopped everything there
when we moved in.












Stay tuned for more stuff and the renovations.
