So I drive past this house on the way to work sometimes..Its something historic..and its nice looking on the outside.. and huge.. so I just looked up the listing.

Even if I HAD $370K I wouldn't touch that house because the thought of ripping down all that wallpaper makes me want to vomit.. And there is just so much clutter and UGLY everywhere!

    Holy Clutter!!!  And that wallpaper- GAG!  After ripping down wallpaper when we bought our house I vowed to never put it up in any home I own.

    it amazes me that people put their houses on the market looking the way they do. That house is over.the.top. cluttered... and I'm sure w/ some staging it would be beautiful, but looking at it as is makes my head hurt!

    And the rifle over the fireplace kind of gives me the heebie jeebies.

    I was gonna say that too - the rifle is a nice touch in trying to sell your home.

    This reminds me a lot of the house we bought in November in Orchard Park!  I wondered what the heck we were doing.....but if you looked past the other people's awful taste and clutter there was amazing potential.  After having 4 full time professional painters at our house for a month (removing loads of wallpaper and painting ALL of the trim/built ins back to white from a horrible teal color) our house is gorgeous.  It was hard to imagine when we walked through.  I remember being so disappointed because from the street it was "the house" I had always wanted and it was on "the perfect street" right in the village.  With a little TLC and some extra cash we turned it into our forever home.  The best part is that it is probably better than I could have imagined because it is all newly done and done exactly to my taste. 


    With that said...they will never get $370,000 for that house.

    Well, at least I wouldn't be the one dealing with all that furniture.

    What's truly horrible is that the wallpaper may be on plaster walls, which would be a total (*#&$! to get off. Would probably have to gut every room.

    So sad. The place could be gorgeous, and the rooms are huge!
