A historic home that needs lots of TLC

One thing that Kent and I love to do is look at homes in the historic district. Our dream home that we have been looking at for a couple of years now recently sold... ; (

Kent found this home which has great potential, however, needs LOTS of serious work. It is still fun to explore and think of how we could fix it up. We would have Traci come out and do all of the interior design. Fortunate for us, the back window is always open so we crawl in and check things out. There is even a small basement in this house which is rare for homes in AZ. The back yard is large which would allow for an easy expansion. Most importantly, you will notice the back door had a little cat door ; ) We decided to take a walk down in this neighborhood this evening and when we walked up, another young couple was exiting the house : ( I was thinking in my mind, I wonder how much money they have or what they do for a living..this is our little diamond in the rough ; ) go away). We walked in the front door and the lady showing the home basically directed us out. No problem, we waited until she pulled off and let ourselves in.
