Every time we buy a fixer upper I think I’ve lost my mind. This time I’m pretty sure.
If you follow me on Pinterest you might have figured something was up. My newest board is Pretty Old Ranch Houses. I’m just full of ideas.
Really. Here’s the living room of our latest “investment”. Yowsers. These lovely windows look into the laundry room.
How’s this for a kitchen. Actually, the fact that it’s gutted was a selling point.
Having it trashed out already is saving us money. Here’s the aforementioned laundry room.
Lovely
It’s just a common 1950s brick ranch—raise your hand if you grew up in one of these. I did.
The tax records say it was built in 1951. Yep, that tile looks about right.
There are 3 bedrooms, this is the smallest one of two on the front. It’s 10”X12’.
All the closets look the same—smallish.
Here’s bedroom #2 also on the front. It’s a palatial 12’X12’.
And bedroom #3. Did I mention the house comes with a piano? It’s a Yamaha. Let me know if you want it.
Wish me luck and promise to come see me in the 400 Ward.
Later,
Patti
