BTW, our inspection went well, we just have a few things to repair or bring up to date and our closing date is set for October 12th. :(
Roundrock Trail House, Plano
This house was a breath of fresh air. John and I fell in love with it! But for me, the bad out weighed the good. We loved this house though! It has a fairly new a/c, new radiant barrier stuff, NEW WINDOWS...big ones! It was so nice and soooo affordable. BUT unfortunately it was on a busy, super busy street, it was about 300 sq feet too small, no closet space for storage, only 1 master closet....it equalled one of mine now. Ummm, the girl's bedroom would have to be in front of the house. And I am just not comfortable with that. But gosh, I loved this house. OH....great schools and neighborhood!
They used Scentsy!
Porcelain sink! Look at their cute soap bottle....it's an olive oil bottle. CUTE!
Bill paying area
Nice living area. I made everyone remove their shoes.
Pretty dining. The floor plan was nice and open. Very airy!
New windows! They turned one of the bedrooms into the TV room.
The master bedroom....with an open bathroom sink. Not sure about that. The toilet and shower looked like it was in a closet.
Gorgeous backyard!
Carport above and a nice fence below!
This was by far the best we saw on Saturday! Below is all the other crap we saw. And by crap....I mean CRAP!
Santana Lane House, Plano
This house was kinda eeeewwwwy inside. Just didn't call out our names!
Children under the stairs....
How old is that stove???? For the amount of money these people want, I want a new stove!
Canconcita Lane House, Plano
This house is HUGE, 3,500 square feet. But we didn't get out to see it. We just drove around and realized that it wasn't for us. And there was a registered sex offender right down the street. It had horrible foundation problems too! The garage looks like it has dropped!
Other Living area....I am not a big fan of huge brick fireplaces with sharp corners anymore.
Oakhill House, Plano
This house was in not so great neighborhood. But we still had to go check it out. I think some one died in this house. And they tried to cover it up by updating things. It just wasn't working for us. It was a pretty house, but no trees in the front yard.

Kitchen was nice...
Winterplace House, Plano
This was one of John's early online favorites.
Upon drive up, it quickly went to the bottom of the list.
The burglar bars scared me. I kept thinking of Freddy Krueger.
The kitchen looks okay, then when you look down, you see that the walls are separating from the floors. Not a good sign!
And termites!
Looks like it was nice once upon a time.
Nice green pool...
Over all this house was NASTY!
New Orleans, Plano
This house, old, nasty, too much wall paper, too much wood paneling (I have already got that), AND it also had water damage and foundation issues....one of the pics below show a crack in the wall.
See the crack...
Carpet was gross.
Early Morn House, Plano
This house was one of my online favorites. It has GREAT schools & trees & great neighborhood! But it was too much to tackle. The house needed a total updating starting with the blue carpet!
Luv the BIG trees!
I don't understand the wood beams.
That kitchen would need to be gutted! I also don't understand how you can ask $180,000 for a house with all the original appliances still in it. That microwave above the stove is something from the dinosaur age!
What's with wooden shutters on the inside of the house? Just thinking about all the work this house needs gives me a headache.
More wood paneling! Ugggg!
This was the master bath.
This was this guest bath. It's hard to tell in this pic, but the tub is a sunken tub. Could you image trying to get out of that thing????
A solarium...okay.
The man room....
Garage door was bent...
This house did have a nice backyard.
Greenstone House, Carrollton
This house is a forclosure. From the outside, it looks like it needs a little TLC. From the inside, it looks like it needed to be gutted and redone. The foundation would need to be cleaned and sealed to get rid of the stench that rose from those floors! And the house leaned....you could literally put a ball in one corner and watch it roll to the other end of the house. I am sure it was gorgeous at one time....but not any more. I didn't even finish snapping pictures, I was sooo distgusted. There were pee stains all over the floor. Maybe squaters came in....who knows.
Edgefield House, Plano
This house had major water damage and needed some major foundation work! We are touching that with a 10 ft pool! NO THANK YOU! Looks pretty from the outside though.

I loved the first house too but take it from me and don't buy a house on a busy street no matter how pretty or great the price is. Our last house was on a semi busy street and it was a nightmare getting out and it was kinda loud. We couldn't sit outside and enjoy the quietness because there was no quietness. The Santana Lane House was weird. The staircase was odd. the way it jutted out like that was not very pretty.
The Oakhill house looked so pretty from the outside but imagine how creepy it would be to live in a house where someone died. I think the old man's uncle died in our old house and it had BAD BAD vibes. I never felt right in that house and was so glad when we had to move.
Winterplace house- When I see burglar bars, I always think that, that's not a safe neighborhood. someone probably broke into that house a few times which is why they got the burglar bars
New Orleans house. I hate wall paper..enough said.
Edgefield had nice curb appeal. I only liked the outside.
Thanks giving a tour of all the houses you looked at. I had FUN looking at the houses with you. I hope you continue sharing your house hunting trips with us. I love looking at houses!
