Tuesday Two Hundred: Mom Wants Us to Count Our Pennies and Our Blessings for the L Streets: $179,000

Are they now GIVING homes away? From the looks of this, you would think it. Here’s another cutie you could practically put on your Citibank for lots of miles! (Never do that: mortgage rates are too low, credit interest too high. And Doc Compton will beat me!) This cute cute 1292 square foot brick traditional at 9053 Longmont is in that sought-after L street division of Lake Highlands, and you even get the Richardson Independent School District. I just cannot believe what I am writing, but there are three bedrooms and two baths. Also beautiful original but freshly refinished hardwood floors and the charm of 1954 construction style. 
I would say the one bathroom lavatory looks a little like they got it at The Dump or on the close-out aisle at Home Depot but hello, replace it for what $500? Very fond of the original tiles. What the hell happened to the tiles in the white bathroom with the pedestal sink? (Love the look of pedestals but totally impractical. Good only for powder rooms.) I cannot believe that the updated kitchen has new granite counter tops, that is like STEALING! Call the police! There is also new backsplash plus those coveted stainless steel appliances. All this plus the home is open, bright and cheerful. Great big backyard with patio area, lot is .18 of an acre. You want .25 you will pay for it. One car garage: can you spell CONVERSION? Large front windows with a cute front porch for getting to know your neighbors, which is exactly what happens in this ‘hood. Just call it Wisteria Lane. So reminds me of our first home at 3550 Ainsworth. Priced so well to sell at $179,000, I will bet this pup is under contract by next Tuesday.

That is a great price for a 3/2 and the backyard is pretty decent sized. I like how it's shaded from the blazing sun, a plus in August. Now for me the claustrophobic, there are too many walls in the living areas. That should be made into one great room making it feel bigger. Reminds me a of scene in a movie "Johnny Dangerously", a spoof on the gangsters of the 30's. One of the bad guys not only was a murderer of other gang members but also murdered the English language. He talks about enlarging his social club, "Knock down that wall, knock down that wall, and knock down that fargin wall." 🙂 I know I'm a mess.
The tile in the white bathroom looks like it's in good shape, but can one actually paint the green tiles? The only place I like green is on the lawn and in my wallet. Would rather paint than demo the tile.
