The new floors appear to be "luxury vinylflooring.' Barf! Theo riginal tall baseboards were removed in order to install the abominable flooring. People, stop doing these horrible things to beautiful old houses.

[@TimRobertsRE]

I agree the real wood floors are much better but I have noticed on some of these old homes there are gaps between the planks of original wood. I guess it just comes down to cost and preference 🤔

[@Catnado5000]

Wood floors look good for about 6 months then they begin to wear, LVP can take abuse and clean up easy, wood floors look great again when you refinish, but let's be honest, refinishing happens 20 years later when you go to sell.

how many bud lites did they have in them, when they decided to paint the walls gray..................everywhere.

[@TimRobertsRE]

Probably more than one

[@God-Love-Freedom]

Why did they choose the dark gray. A lighter color would appear to open the space more. Still though, nice house!

[@TimRobertsRE]

😂😂 nobody seems to like the color. I wonder if maybe it looks worse on camera

[@RobertMichaelAuthor]

It's paint. For that price, make it as colorful as yinz want. After viewing homes with pink and odd colors of green, or older homes with the fashion sense of a billiard table, gray ain't so bad.

[@TimRobertsRE]

🥲 yep maybe a bit further away from the city. Definitely not for everyone but old houses can have a charm to them. Of course that means you’ll probably need more reserves for when something needs replaced but there are good and bad things on both sides 😂

[@mikelouis9389]

@TimRobertsRE I was a Real Estate agent in the West hills for a bit in the late Eighties. In licensing class I sat next to a lady from California. She was blown away by how much house you could get for your money, but appalled by the price of raw property. I'm now in sw Florida and it's crazy how little you get for biiiig bucks! BTW, this is a nice house for a very nice price!

I agree. I hate Grey! It's sad they painted Everything. IF they had to paint all the wood work, why ugly Grey!

[@JakeInGeorgia]

“If you like a lot of sunlight” 😂 if you like sunlight you won’t be living in Pittsburgh. As an added bonus, those walls are as gray as the Pittsburgh sky.

[@TimRobertsRE]

Summer is decently sunny but yes winter is dark for a long time 🥲

[@davidelee8980]

Yes the LVP flooring and the painted over wood work is sad, but it’s all about resale price. If they took the time AND money to basically restore it to original, they’d never be able to price it to sell in the market of that neighborhood. Beautiful old house though, someone could buy and slowly restore it themselves (as a project) but again you would never get your investment back out of it. Nice tour Tim BTW, thanks!

Overall not that bad. Cheaper cabinets. I’d say $110-125k at the most!!

[@AlexKunstar]

They painted everything gray except for the only place that should be gray... that basement. Hire better painters... completely unacceptable not to have bright white ceilings.. which makes me believe there was nasty smoke stains everywhere and this was their quick fix.

[@TimRobertsRE]

I guess I’m just weird but I kinda liked it 😂 could definitely use a variety of tones and colors though

[@MeloraBeecroft]

This would easily cost over $1M in other parts of the country. I'm surprised the cost is relatively so low in today's housing market.

[@TimRobertsRE]

Yep it is definitely relatively affordable here compared to many places! Especially once you get a little further away from the city there are some huge beautiful homes!

Wretched awful renovation of a once-beautiful home. Industrial grey walls-why? I really hate grey modern everything. Also why is the camera on the person giving the tour so much instead of showing the house? You really only need one person filming these. Hate to complain so much,well not really, but the grey is so awful. I would have to repaint the whole thing.

I would never buy into that for 200. Look at that kitchen alone... nope. What about the foundation? The roof new? What's the insulation value? What happens when it rains heavy? Leaks or water anywhere? Narrow as F***. 95K in Pitt, maybe, but go out of the county and boom.. 200K gets you so much more with land. What about the location.?? You don't show the core of the building, just the cosmetics. Not a buyer by any means if you were the agent.
