For Sale- Sold!

Even before it hit the market, this house was sold. Apparently it was under water from a broken pipe that no one knew about until a month later when the water bill was outrageous. Someone went over to check the damage, and found an utter mess that resulted in a quick sale at a bargain basement price. The owner was an elderly lady, who lived primarily in Virginia. And as the story goes, was quite the hoarder- and they say she was a spy (?). So the place was gutted, and rebuilt and moved in to the 21st century. No one seems to know what it was actually sold for, but we all know it was probably worth every dime. This place is on our block, and one of the last homes that had not been renovated. It has the same facade as our son's home just down the street. We're just happy that it was cleaned up, and sold very quickly- which is not at all unusual around here. What is unusual is that it has parking- which makes it even more valuable. Getting through the alley in the back can be a challenge, but it is a priceless option in this neighborhood. Since we moved, we no longer have our 2 car attached garage. We do miss it, but we did not have the Capitol building just two blocks and I did not walk to work. Priorities do change!
An added parking perk- priceless!

A great improvement from the broken glass and dingy exterior

Now it fits right in
 
With a recently updated sidewalk that is straight and flat!
