The Weekend Hunt

We checked out three open houses this weekend:

10 Lennon Rd

-the house was in need of some serious overhaul. Knock $100K off the price and I would consider it more closely

5 Ernest Rd

-nice house, close to a decent school, but terrible neighborhood. Here is the ratty looking aparment complex directly across the street

And the graffitti covered corner store about two streets away.

Houses in this area are blacklisted from future trips!

And finally, a house that restored my confidence that we will be able to find a nice place -

36 Valentine

Nice layout, great neighborhood and a clean, modern interior. There was a great playroom area near the kitchen that led out to a very cool balcony. Yard space was small, but the balcony space definitely compensated. The basement was adequate, although the furnace looked like it didn’t have many years left. A door led directly from the basement into the garage. After chipping ice off of our currently ungaraged Volvo, we’ve decided that having a place to protect our car from the elements is high priority here in New England.
