It is obvious that this property once was very loved. Unfortunately, it now is a bit neglected.
The layout is great, with the master suite on one side and two bedrooms on the other.
The living room has a reclining sofa and loveseat, but the vinyl on the sofa is peeling in between the cushions.
Bathrooms need some work. Laundry and kitchen are good but no spices or detergent.
The grounds are overgrown and the trees are in desperate need of a trimming. The outdoor furniture is rusty with no cushions. There’s a Charcoal grill, but we had to buy our own charcoal. There’s also the remnants of a gas grill, but there’s an animal nest in it.
The pool is saltwater. The filter is on a timer, which comes on after 9am. If you’re like us, you want to swim in the early morning. Here, that is pretty much impossible this time of year because every morning there is a layer of no see ums (little flying gnats) in the pool. Once the filter runs for a couple of the hours and you skim, they’re mostly gone, but that’s not until about noon. The pool room is screened but the no see ums easily get through. After a few days, I was covered in bites.
Owner was responsive to our complaints - he mowed when asked, put salt in the pool, and brought some usable chairs for outside - but he thereafter showed up unannounced a few times. This was disconcerting.
I would buy this home and give it the tlc it needs if it were on the market, but I presently would not rent here again.
So much potential.
