super cute, but on the wrong side of the river, on the other hand, not all that much further from the center of town than where we were looking... (www.realtor.com)

Upside: You should be close to Mr. Tees batting cages, driving range, and mini golf. Yay! -- nm - Chest Rockwell Oct 11, 13:12
OMG, I love it. It looks totally remodeled so you shouldn't have to worry about the wiring/plumbing. - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 12:56 22
- If it was done right and not just cosmetics to cover problems they already have experienced. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:57 21
  - no one EVER does that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:02 6
    - They fix it up right on This Old House all the time. If that's any indication of the average contractor... -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 13:04 5
      - I wish I was a realtor selling you a house. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:05 2

        add granite countertops, he'll pay anything. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:07
      - That's This Old House. They use the best contractors in the coutnry. -- nm - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 13:05
      - fine print "average contractor that is being filmed." -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:05
  - good point. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:00 6
    - Sadly, I know from picking up management for rentals. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:01 5
      - *nods* - znufrii Oct 11, 13:04 4
        
        I'll be interested to find out if this is just coming on the market after the reno/development of the rest of the property - znufrii Oct 11, 13:06
        
        Don't get me wrong, there is every likelyhood that it is right. - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:06 2
        
        half of what I've learned from HGTV is knowing what to look for and asking the right questions - znufrii Oct 11, 13:07 1
        
        what if the realtor is on the HGTV tricks? -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:08
  - There's something about the bathrooms that doesn't look quite right to me. - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 12:59 6
    - thos positioning of the fixtures is weird, I'll give you that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:02 4
      - The back-to-back sinks don't seem to be usable at the same time. Which makes them no more convenient than a single. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:04 3
        
        Yeah, one sink can't be used at all unless the door is closed. - CovingtonCat Oct 11, 13:10
        
        more importantly... - znufrii Oct 11, 13:09 1
        
        There is no mirror in the other bathroom either. Was the previous owner blind? -- nm - decline Oct 11, 13:11
    - Yup. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:00
it's cute and has a lot of windows but somehow is still really dark. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 11, 12:49
I like, how is the street traffic, seems like you are flush with the curb, back yard? side yard? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 12:49 1
- no idea, will find out if and when we go look at it this weekend. - znufrii Oct 11, 12:51

- nah, I think he means the actual river. (it's a nice part of town) -- nm - decline Oct 11, 12:51 5
  - yeah, we've been looking in Conshy proper... -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 12:52 4
    - would there always be traffic congestion at the bridge? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 12:54 3
      - I'd think so, though by being on this side of it, there's direct access to the highway and you avoid the bridge altogether. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 12:55 2
        
        That Blue Route/Schuykill interchange right there is just brutal during rush hours though -- nm - decline Oct 11, 12:56 1
        
        whaddayagonnado? - znufrii Oct 11, 13:01
- "(there could be blacks!)" -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 12:49
- ACK! -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:48
aka #312 -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 12:43
