The original owner (from 1977) still lived there until about a year ago when she moved to a nursing home. It was like a museum... with the original luxurious orange shag carpet, except for where it was pitted with black valleys of disgust. It also had original harvest gold appliances and toilets, with lots of authentic finger prints and waxy grime. It was love at first site. We had to buy the place... wouldn't you?
Ok... Ok... To be fair, I haven't shown you the best part...
... THE VIEW!!! Be honest... You wouldn't have been able to say no either.After a new coat of paint, new carpets, flooring, toilets, sinks, appliances, lights and blinds (not shown)... You know, the basics... I think the place turned out pretty darn good! Instant equity. And the best part? We already have a renter! Score!
And did I mention it has a view???

What a fun place to redo! You did a wonderful job!
Great job on the renovation!! The views are phenomemal. Have fun being a landlord. A word of advice--be sure you do a background check on the tenants!!
"I agree with everything except the redo of the bathroom counter; that original shade of orange was particularly fetching, don't you think? Good luck with your venture!
