The interior is in dire need of some serious TLC!! We think if we can buy it right & put in some hard work, we could probably have a unique home with LOTS of selling potential.......
The lot is huge and it even has a pool. "YEA!!"
The front landscaping is AWESOME!! The cost of doing the landscaping out front alone leaves one thinking what it cost???
It even comes with a saguaro cactus...... DH has always wanted a place that had a real saguaro. When he attended the University of Arizona, he lived in an apartment complex that had a tree that looked like a saguaro but unfortunately, it died. The apartment complex actually painted the tree green to make it look like a saguaro. DH had to look at that tree every day and vowed he'd have a real one some day.......
One of the drawbacks of this property is the master bathroom. It has a nice tiled shower but it sits about 3 feet below the porcelain stool. DH & DW laughed when we saw it because one could be sitting on the toilet and one could be in the shower and you could have a conversation face to face. This eventually would have to be raised to the main floor......$$$
The other drawback on this property is the kitchen. It's tiny.... The house is very livable at this time and we could chip away at the things we don't like. We have gotten to know lots of people with various skills in construction work. This is a difficult decision for us but we feel it's one we need to consider. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Our parents have always said "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear", however we feel the purse is complete, we just need to add the silk....... Ahhhhh the joys of house hunting and stress!!

I would't worry so much about the level of the tub / shower as I would the huge serial killer / pervert window in it. Besides, how often is DH going to let you grunt one out while he is soaking in the tub...hit the fan on your way out.
Jeepers...after seeing this house, reading this blog and then listenting to you tonight on the phone, firmly believe this is NOT the house for you. Cactus or not- this is not for you. You would not be happy here - there would always be something that would need to be done - no time for relaxing and enjoying, just work work work. Let it go and find something else. Remember how enjoyable it was after the garage was done and you could actually sit outside and enjoy your property? That house would take forever and way too much money. Does Tony B have anything available? I am hopeful that the perfect house will present itself within a couple of weeks. Hang in there.
The kitchen does look small - the way you like to entertain - might not work too well. I agree with Matt on the bathroom too. You want something you can sit and relax in when you get home. Not more work.
that last comment was from me - Mom
