Step Right Up and Pick Our Home: POLL!!

you can always redo the paint on the second one but seems like more work needs to be done on the first one and it sounds to me like it will cost more to get everything done plus more work being put into it, with that being said I chose the second one

kitchen 1: older white appliances but looks towards family and that shining beacon of light on the right is the sunroom/playroom. OH! the kitchen has 2 pantries... one with shelving, one with walk-in shelving (either side of fridge) large enough to put high chair in when we dont want it out.

kitchen 2: warm wood cabs... picture that with shiny new stainless (no picture since they went in less than 2 weeks ago) but you can see more closed in. No pantry..

@sugahcookie they are/were? in my very first post on this thread... i tried but they are still appearing on my end. if others cant see, maybe thats ok? Im not super worried but if they appear for you go ahead and delete. No worries either way.

Option 1, the layout and a kitchen to die for. Not to mention the larger sq footage.

Disclaimer I live in the houston area so no experience with a basement.

sad I missed the pics but from what I read, its nice to have new appliances, and a basement. The laundry sitch sux but it'll make you stronger and if you have a TV in the basement, you can fold down there and have the kids bring it to their rooms to put away....

fun, I love real estate..

I am also a contactors wife, so projects are sorta the way we live.

that being said, I voted #1 for the long term potential. 6 years ago we gutted our 100 year old home. We tore out all flooring and walls. At one point you could stand in the basement and see the clouds Eek.

Now we have the perfect home with the perfect layout. I'm forever grateful that we took that time and money. People never can tell our home is 100 years old. (except that there is a sign as you walk in because it is a historical home).

I require a basement so I chose #2. Good luck! They both sound fabulous!

I'm on Mobil so I can't see the links but just based off your description I would say option 1. Just know windows can be expensive to replace (we had to do that).
Ask if the seller will provide a full home warrenty for a year. That will cover all appliances and utilities (heater ac, etc...) you have a better chance of getting things fixed (or replaced) under a warrenty then by sellers who just want out. Plus then you get to choose your new stuff as opposed to them picking for you. We got a warrenty on our house and it was one of the best things! You also have the option to continue it after the year is up. It's good piece of mind.

Either way good luck. Home buying is exciting!!

Ok no pantry in #2 is a huge dealbreaker for me. Pantries are important! Im more sold on #1 now.

The suspense is killing me @erobbins09.. I feel like I'm watching House Hunters!

I know it is hard to let go but if you are not sold on either one maybe it is because they are both not the right home for you. Just a thought. Good luck! So stressful choosing.
