This spacious 3 bed/3.5 bath home was...ok. It's stuck in the 1980s with its stained light blue carpet, outdated kitchen and bathrooms, and intercom system. It would take around $100,000 to get it into good shape, and at the current asking price, that puts it at over $1m. What we really didn't like about the house was the lack of backyard. One could put $500,000 into the house and make it gorgeous. But, it can never have a backyard, which is a sad shame.
