Kitchen of the Mission House, Tuesday, 29 August 2006
Originally uploaded by suyenvp.
This is yet another disaster. Yep, that's a dearth of appliances in there. The house has never been updated and the kitchen needs help. It is a shame because there is soooo much potential in there. However, we'll have to let this one go unless there is a serious drop in the price, enough to offset the cost of repairs needed.
Tour of the Contemporary Ranch house in Mission, Tuesday, 29 August 2006.

I love the styling on this house. This room is the most beautiful. Unofortunately, for the price of the house, it needs too much help. The roof needs replacement, there are bare wires everywhere, and the carpet is shot. Also, the AC is a littl funny -- seems to have been added as an afterthought. The outside of the house has been landscaped nicely, and the house sits on a great corner lot. However, the care that was taken on the outside seems to be lacking on the inside. It actually is depressing to me. I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever find a suitable house. UHG!
