Welcome to house #10.

City: Rancho Cordova

Price: 159,000

3 bed/2 bath

1405 sq ft

Formal living.

Notice fireplace.

Also notice mirror on far left.

There were like 6 of those. What the?

Kitchen.

Not. A. Fan.

Other half of kitchen.

I really try to look past people's style & messes.

But really, can't you at least do the dishes before you show your house?

Guest room #1.

Kitchen overlooking living area.

It's not necessarily open to the living area

but you can see it so how picky can I really get?

Master bedroom.

Master bath.

Guest room #2

Backyard.

I didn't like this house from my second step inside of it.

It would be the first step except I saw the fireplace first

and I'm a sucker for fireplaces.

The rest of the house was not so good.

PROS

Kitchen kind of open to living area.

In our ideal city.

Separate living/family rooms.

Bedrooms are a decent size.

CONS

Dated finishes.

Super tiny kitchen with pretty much zero storage space.

I have no idea where we would store half our kitchen stuff.

Electric range with no gas to house.

All carpet.

I really just wasn't feeling this house.

I think I partially was comparing it to the new model home we just came from

[that's a mistake, don't do that in your house hunt.]

and partially was starting to feel like we would never find something I actually loved

and could afford.

Thankfully, T & my mom noticed there were structural issues with the house.

So I didn't have to feel like I was saying no to everything

just because it didn't feel right.

I know you have to be practical but I want it to feel like I can make the house at home.

I always imagine myself and Jack in the house during the day...

sometimes I can picture it.

Sometimes I just feel like there is no way it would feel like my own.

On to house #11.

Sigh.

Update: This house sold for the listing price of $159,000.
