If the rest of the place looks like that then Heck Yeah! A friend of mine just bought a place right off of 285 and Sheridan and paid 190K and its a wreck. About the same size and age I would imagine.

Actually its not laziness, I left them up on purpose. I love the way they make my patio look at night, that covered patio you see there wraps around the entire house.
Chris - it was built in 1933, so its sort of an oldie for the neighborhood. Bedrooms are pretty good size for the age of the house. Master bathroom is HUGE (the size of a bedroom) and I had big plans for that bathroom. Id say its probably 1200 to 1300 square feet, not including the basement which is probably about 300 square foot unfinished.

Everyoneshould look into the surge supressors for the main line. Very easy to install and not really expensive. Mine was only $110 my cost. It has saved me many times over.
Lisa good luck with the house sale. At $155K it sounds like a great deal. Mine is on the market for $439K Any takers????????

Yep redid the entire house.
Here are a few more:
The top 3 pics were taken after I finished the floors, before I moved anything in. I hope people aren't too turned off by my wild colors, but I wanted an art-deco style house and these are colors I chose based on my own personal preferences...so if they don't like it, oh well I guess. A few months ago I had no idea I'd be selling.

I'm no realtor but sounds like a good deal given the market, you should be able to sell it off no problem. The price is sure right. Everybody wants to be close to the mountains. I live out east (Smokey Hill/E-470) and wish I was more on the west side. Older trees, larger lots etc.
One cool thing is that I am a brisk 5 minute walk from the light rail station that goes to central station or downtown.
I'm crossing my fingers it'll go quickly. I bought for 125K, to the chagrin of the bank that owned it at the time.
Jim, 439K? *gulp* thats almost a half a mil. How big is this house anyhow?

Certainly not that I can tell from the low resolution photos you're able to post here, but I am extremely fussy so I'm not sure you would want me looking at anyones work up close. You'll never hear one shoemaker say anything good about another's work. LOL...I will say I don't care for the white shoe molding, but it's pretty much a matter of individual tastes.

My dad was one of those people who loved to shake and feel presents to try and figure out what they were, sometimes he'd try to see through the wrapping paper... he couldn't handle the suspense. So he'd mess with a package and try to guess what it was, and amazingly, about 70% of the time he'd get it right. So my brother and I used to put bricks and stuff in with his presents to try and throw him off.

I guess it depends on what's more important to you: a brand new house, or older houses on mature lots and more accessible to town.
One cool thing is that I am a brisk 5 minute walk from the light rail station that goes to central station or downtown.

The access to downtown is a feature I would exploit. Your second set of photos show your hard work.

Jim, if I could find a way to teleport you out here, I would. I am a retard when it comes to electrical stuff. Do you have any pictures of your place? For 439K i'm interested to see!

Yeah, this place has character all right. Just old enough to be modern but old enough to be dated and needing stuff replaced. I bought it 11 years ago and the PO would never recognize it now. I have a handy man biz on the side and this is my house that I try stuff out before I go out and charge people for "real" work.
