This home was somewhat as expected for the price, but I would have liked for the location to be a little less shady.
Upon first arriving, bars were noted on the doors and windows.
The neighbor across the street had a small tour bus with a playboy bunny emblem on it.
The neighbors to the right, had two small, yapping dogs.
The neighbors to the left had ferrel cats outside, and their home was dilapidated.
Upon trying to get IN to the home, the key fit the lock, but the OUTER SCREEN door wouldn’t open (or lock when leaving) without a struggle. The deadbolt doesn’t align properly, the doorknob itself does NOT lock.
The INNER door deadbolt doesn’t lock from the outside AT ALL (but locks fine from the inside), and there is no doorknob lock on the inside door.
Heating and cooling work well.
No paper towels in the kitchen, and only one kitchen hand towel.
Washer and dryer are outside the back door and contained within a fenced-in yard. I can’t speak to how they function.
The mirror hangs low in the bathroom. No hand towel. No place for the toilet paper to be hung. No “real” shower curtain liner to speak of (two shower curtains, back to back). The shower was odd. The higher you turned the pressure, the water from the faucet would gradually shift to coming out of the shower head.
The mattress in bedroom near the street buckles in the middle. You’ll roll into it. Highly uncomfortable.
The second bed in the back was extremely firm.
There were only sheets on each of the beds. No comforters to speak of. Throw blankets were available in the closets, which offered insufficient coverage.
The picture frames contain the photos that came with the frames and have been vandalized (?).
I sincerely would’ve liked to have left a better review, and although Glenda was very nice, I get the sense that this home was specifically purchased within this neighborhood because it was inexpensive and was quickly and cheaply able to be converted into an income property.
Also, the kitchen cabinets are new, but there’s an exposed electrical outlet within the cabinet above the sink that seems out of place.
This home has the potential to be a 4.5 with a few minor points of TLC, and attention to detail and safety, especially considering that the neighborhood that is questionable.
Otherwise, proximity to the strip is as stated - convenient, and the minimal amount of communication that I had with Glenda was extremely prompt and pleasant.
