The property has very good bones - nice location and rooms, but lacks some key amenities.
Living/dining room furniture was of good quality and comfort and was well arranged.
Bedrooms have no dressers, so what to do with a week’s worth of clothes becomes a question.
Likewise, the kitchen equipment is not up to standard: few matching plates, utensils, or glasses and a poor, scratched-up selection of pots/pans.
Overall, the kitchen equipment was similar to what you might expect to find in a college kid’s first apartment. A $300 trip to Target would fix this.
The shower stall in the primary bath showed a good deal of mildew. I bought spray to try and reduce it.
Also, the clip that holds the handheld shower head was broken, so showers were 100% one-handed. I shared that info with the property manager, but it took well over 48 hours to resolve. Management offered to send someone out Christmas Day, but I waived that off, so don’t count that time in the 48 hours.
Landscaping is underwhelming, with overgrown shrubs and dead potted trees out back and weeds overgrowing the walkway out front, which I removed.
The supplied charcoal barbecue is tiny, rusty, and about 16 inches tall. The plastic Adirondack chairs are old, so the chalky finish comes off onto your clothes.
It would be helpful to have the switches throughout the house labeled for convenience.
If the above issues were addressed, I would have no hesitation about coming back to the house. So much potential!
