We helped my brother and sister-in-law move today. The house they moved into is probably the weirdest house I've ever been in. For starters, it's huge (particularly for a rental) with a full upstairs, main floor, and basement. Three bedrooms and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms upstairs, two enormous living rooms and a kitchen on the main floor, and laundry and a second full bath downstairs. Several additions had been built at different times, giving the house a strange sprawling feel and some very interesting angled walls. The picture above is of the "master" bedroom complete with "ensuite" bathroom. There is a full patio door and balcony on the wall directly opposite the toilet and sink, so you can sit on the can and watch all the action on the street if you like.
Unfortunately, the previous tenants left behind some substantial damage. The house reeked of pot and several holes had been punched in the walls (I'm guessing from the house-cooling party the previous tenants had). They also didn't clean anything. For months, it appeared. We also found a dead pigeon on the balcony.
The house has a lot of potential, but it will need a lot of repair to make it desirable for conscientious renters like my brother and sister-in-law. Unless they can reach an agreement with the landlord, I doubt they will stay here very long.
