Gorgeous 1829 townhouse fixer upper in Philadelphia, PA has 6bds, 3ba. I hope a flipper doesn't come in and modernize the bejeezus out of it. It has 4 levels and is so historic, it had a little shop in front. They're asking $950K, but when it's done, it will be worth about $2 or $3M, I bet. Maybe more. (I hate the remodel next door, though.) Well, let's see what we've got here.

So, the entrance to the home is on the side, b/c of the shop in front. I would have to open something in that shop, if I had a house like this.

This looks like an original gas light outside.

This is so beautiful, it needs an expert in historic restoration. Look at the cupboards, the doors, ceiling, and brick.

Closet in the corner of the room.

Step down from the residence into the shop. Is this cute or what?

And, it has a little restroom with a marble backsplash. Look at the light switch- it's the old pushbutton kind.

Back in the residence, there's a lot of restoration needed. Don't forget that the house has 4 levels.

These walls must be restored. No drywall. It looks like someone already started to paint the ceiling.

Great fireplace in here. Ditch that paint, it reminds me of an old public restroom beige.

I wonder why they have bars on this door and a little window. Who or what was in there? I wouldn't mind taking that plaster off and exposing the brick, but that's an outer wall. I don't know if brick would be on the other walls.

Stairs to the 2nd level. Note the steepness.

A front room on the 2nd level has a fireplace and the outer wall is brick. This must be a sitting room. B/c of the shop, the living quarters would start on this floor.

Closet behind the fireplace.

Pocket door to the kitchen.

I think that this would be the dining room.

Then this would be the kitchen.

This may be where the stove would go.

There was a bathroom in the room to the right.

Got to be a bedroom with 2 closets.

Here we are on the 3rd level. Someone started to dismantle the house, but the buyer will have to finish it.

They stripped all the ceilings, and maybe they could stay that way. In this bedroom, they have a lot of doors that were removed.

So, 2 brick walls in here. This home is going to need so much rehab, I'm beginning to think that if it's done right, it could be worth as much as $5M, now.

The attic rooms on the 4th level.

We can see how bad the ceilings are and why they have to be torn down.

Now, this is the basement. There's even a fireplace down here. This could be stunning w/a bar, like a little speakeasy.

This is cool- there's a door to go out on the roof. I wonder if you could put up a pretty iron railing and make a deck.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy’s $9.75M West Village townhouse is an all-season urban refuge

via 6sqft - 17 October 2024

As a parent I think this is all staged/dressed (furnishings most likely rented for photos), there is no way a house with 3 kids looks like this even if you are rich.

From the wine cellar to the terraces, roof deck, and outdoor kitchen, the West Village home of actors Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy is a dreamy four-story urban refuge with prize-winning interiors by the architecture firm of BKSK. Profiled in the New York Times, the celebrity pair wanted more space for their family; they put the 3,890-square-foot home at 19 Downing Street on the market for $9,750,000 in August. The pair quickly found a buyer for the Greek Revival-style townhouse, according to the Post, and the home is now in contract. If you love the interior design of this home, we’ve sourced a few key pieces that are identical or similar to the items in the listing photos, so you can get the look for your own space.

Okay, the house I’m making in the Sims4 is fucking giant-

It’s laid out like a townhouse, but still pretty big with five floors including the attic and basement, but it would be counted as six if we include the roof. And, if my math isn’t wrong, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, three kitchens, two mini lounge spaces, a backyard with a grill and eating area, planters, a dollhouse, and monkey bars (I’m still planning on adding to it since there’s room left on the lot), and a micro garden at the front with another pot for planting and a little bench.

I’m just having so much fun that I’ve probably used every single piece of base game art and repeated clutter items SEVERAL times. Keep in mind that this version of Sims4 is on the Xbox One S I’m pretty sure and I got it around 2017 maybe, so there’s not too much in terms of the build and buy.

Two of the floors have medium wall height was well-

I’m even thinking about adding a shed or separate building to maybe put a little gym in, too. Maybe I’ll put another bedroom in the attic as well.

Seriously, I have two hidden studio apartments on this lot and I could make a small attic bedroom for it to not look weird-

If I put this build on the gallery, someone with the For Rent pack could probably make each space its own apartment if I fully decked out the attic with a bathroom and a kitchen. I’m probably gonna just rant about the lore I’ve given this build once I’m don’t with it, so prepare for that monster of a post-

fem!reibert part 2

"how much do you think i'd be worth?"

the hens are squawking as she digs in the coop for the morning's lay. one of them pecks at her, but beatrice is quicker and has latched the door shut before the hen can draw blood from her hands. she's still on her knees, prodding at the little blue and white eggs in the basket, when she feels rosamund over her shoulder.

"what did you say?" she asks, not looking up. not because she didn't hear, but because she didn't understand. she doesn't, until roz says it again, and then at once bea understands, even before she's finished her sentence.

"all that talk last night," rosamund explains. "the young lady's dowry. i never knew marriage was so complicated."

"it is when you're rich."

without turning around, bea knows roz is sat on the little stool in the inner courtyard, the ankle of her uniform skirt swishing among the hen feathers that she should be sweeping up. in truth, it does not take two maids to task the chickens; it's just one little coop and a few potted plants, tucked in the back corner of the townhouse's basement kitchen garden. the cook's inside lighting the fires and boiling water for the missus. she's yet to start yelling for the day, but if roz doesn't get her ass inside to finish the fireplaces soon, she will.

above their heads, there's the back entrance for the coachman, the hall boys, and the footmen in their suits. above that lies the breakfast terrace. it's early still, and bea knows the family won't be up for hours, but she lifts her head anyway, squinting towards the grey day just in case they're being overhead. the family never bother to notice when they're arguing over their tea. just beneath, there's a nook in the deck where the milk bottles are collected. that's where she sits when there's something good to be heard.

"all this about jewels and gold." she hears roz toeing feathers on the cobblestones. "i mean, land is where it's at around here. the old man will never get a proper gentleman for his daughter if he's not willing to part with any farmland."

"they haven't got any farmland." bea dusts the feathers over the eggs, keeping her head down. her fingernails are grimy already. she'll have to do good wash before cook sees her. they're already going to get raked because roz is behind on the fireplaces— unless annie's picking up her slack again. she hasn't seen annie all morning, but that's not unusual.

rosamund tuts her tongue. "new money. just humor me, bea. how much?"

beatrice sweeps dirt off an egg with her thumb. “nothing. you wouldn’t get a dowry.”

“come on. if i mean, if i was rich.”

if. as if.

“i don’t know,” she says. she drops the egg in with the others. “what does your father do?”

a horse clips down the street. glass rattles. like clockwork, one of the hall boys dashes out the upper door to greet the milkman.

she hears rosamund take a breath. "well— let's just say—"

beatrice dares a glance over her shoulder. roz is as beautiful as any maid ever can be, and just now the morning sun is striking over the red roofs of the mitras to dapple sunlight down the streets, even all the way down into their little courtyard, sunken below the rest of the world. that’s what they may be, but when beatrice looks at rosamund, for a moment she can say the lady they’re pretending to talk about— fair skin, freckled nose, cornsilk hair in a braid over her shoulder. they wouldn’t talk about her like that if she was a lady. they'd call her hair white-gold, not cornsilk. and she wouldn’t be freckled, or wearing such a loose braid down her shoulder. the footmen tease her, call her such a daring girl for her grins and her charms. the housekeeper’s just about had it with her and annie. bea won’t be surprised if they don’t see winter here. 

roz shifts, a strand of gold hair falling out of her braid. she sits with her hands forward in her lap, the crisp white cuff of her uniform shirt pushed up just a little past her wrists, just the way she knows will get her in trouble. white’s not really her color, beatrice thinks. it washes her out. what she wouldn’t give to see miss rosamund braun in silky blues like the sea.

roz leans forward a little, her braid moving with her. “let’s say he sells spirits. there’s good money in that.”

beatrice turns away again. “rich men don’t sell anything. they just own things.”

“fine, he owns fields. how much then?”

“what kind of fields?”

“i don’t know. just lots of them.”

“does he grow grain, or fruit? brandy’s just as expensive to produce as it is to buy. there’s better money in barley and wheat."

roz starts sweeping the cobblestones behind her. has beatrice annoyed her enough into working?

"fine, barley fields. my family's supplied all of wall sina's ale for generations. how much is my hand in marriage worth?"

the hens ruffle their feathers and squawk back to their nests as bea latches up the coop and shuffles to her knees, wiping white feathers from her apron. with dismay, she sees a speck of mud on the starched collar of her uniform shirt. she'll have to change before she goes upstairs. maybe she can find annie and ask what their next move should be. they're running out of time, and she can't stay here much longer. white was never her color.

"i don't know," beatrice says finally, looking down. she itches to paw at the dirt on her wrist. she refrains. it'll only smudge. "i haven't got the faintest idea what goes into a dowry, roz."

in liberio, a bride is worth the promise of hale children and hands to run the household. people haven't got anything else to their names to bargain with, and if they did, they wouldn't be wasting it on eldians like themselves.

when she looks up, rosamund's cornsilk braid has fallen down her back, and she's cleared the cobblestones of chicken feathers, the broom as tight in her hands as a gun.

"i know," she says after a moment.

a shout echoes from the kitchen. cook is calling for them. they're behind on the fireplaces.

roz sweeps the feathers into the corner. "s'alright. who wants to get married anyway?"

The yellow light of the waning moon illuminates a side of Edinburgh that is otherwise hidden.

At moonrise new and fantastic buildings begin to emerge.

From the already cragged roofs of the Old Town, lofty spires come into view. Each one is hung about with pendants and sigils, proclaiming the property of ancient gods, learned warlocks, or valiant knights.

In the New Town, observatory domes of verdigried copper via with precarious weather stations of glass and pale wood. The telescopes, vanes, meters, and observation decks climb in haphazard heaps from the staid roofs of Georgian townhouses. Each one a statement of the status and interests of the alchemists living below.

Even the hills are changes. The already vertiginous heights of the crags and Arthur's Seat are dwarfed by larger and wilder eruptions. Snow capped and thickly forester, these hills belong to an older time. Wolves and bears patrol the treeline and lone wyrms can be seen circling the distant peaks.

Top Questions to Ask Your Home Inspector in Houston, Texas

October 11, 2024

A home inspection is a vital part of the buying process, whether you're purchasing a modern townhouse in downtown Houston or a suburban home in The Woodlands. This crucial step can reveal hidden issues in a property that might not be visible during a casual walkthrough. To ensure you’re getting the most out of your home inspection, it’s important to ask the right questions. Here's a guide to the top questions you should ask your home inspector in Houston, Texas.

1. What is the Condition of the Foundation?

Houston's soil is known for its clay composition, which can expand and contract with changes in moisture. This can lead to foundation problems, a common issue for homes in Houston. Be sure to ask your home inspector to thoroughly examine the foundation for cracks, uneven settling, or moisture issues. Understanding the condition of the foundation is essential since repairs can be costly.

2. Are There Any Signs of Water Damage or Flooding?

Houston’s history with hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding is well-known. Even homes not located in a designated flood zone can be at risk. Ask your inspector if there are any signs of past water damage or potential flooding issues. They should check the grading around the house, gutters, and drainage systems to ensure water is being properly directed away from the home’s foundation.

3. Is the Roof in Good Condition?

With Houston's intense sun, occasional hailstorms, and high winds from storms, roofs can take a beating. Ask your home inspector to check for missing or damaged shingles, leaks, and the overall condition of the roof. Knowing the lifespan of the current roof will help you plan for any potential repairs or replacements.

4. Are There Any Mold or Moisture Issues?

Houston’s humidity creates an environment where mold can thrive if there are moisture problems in the home. Mold can lead to health issues and structural damage, so ask the inspector to check for signs of mold or mildew, especially in areas like the attic, bathrooms, and basement (if the home has one). If moisture issues are present, it’s important to address them quickly.

5. How is the Air Conditioning System Performing?

In Houston’s hot and humid climate, a reliable air conditioning system is essential. Ask your home inspector to assess the performance of the HVAC system. They should check the age of the unit, its efficiency, and whether it’s cooling the home effectively. An inspector can give you an idea of how much life is left in the system and whether you might need to budget for repairs or replacement soon.

6. Are the Electrical and Plumbing Systems Up to Code?

Safety is a top priority, and outdated or faulty electrical and plumbing systems can lead to serious problems. Ask your inspector to evaluate whether these systems meet current codes and if there are any safety concerns. Faulty wiring, outdated fuse boxes, or poor water pressure are red flags that may need to be addressed.

7. What Are the Major Repairs Needed, and What’s the Timeline?

If the inspection uncovers issues, ask your inspector to prioritize them based on urgency. Some repairs, like fixing a leaky roof or addressing foundation cracks, need immediate attention, while others can be dealt with over time. Understanding the timeline for repairs will help you make informed decisions during the negotiation process and plan for future maintenance.

8. What is the Condition of the Exterior?

Houston homes face extreme weather conditions, so it’s important to know how well the exterior of the house is holding up. Ask your inspector about the condition of siding, windows, doors, and any outdoor features like decks or patios. These areas often face wear and tear from Houston’s heat, rain, and humidity, so knowing if they need attention is key.

9. Should I Call in a Specialist for Certain Issues?

A home inspector provides a broad overview of the home’s condition, but in some cases, they may recommend bringing in a specialist. For example, if there are concerns about the roof, foundation, or electrical systems, a specialist can offer a more detailed assessment. Ask your inspector if they recommend further evaluations from experts in specific areas, such as a foundation expert or an HVAC technician.

10. What Should I Expect in Terms of Future Maintenance?

Even if the home passes the inspection with flying colors, every home requires regular maintenance. Ask your inspector for advice on maintaining key systems like HVAC, plumbing, and roofing, especially considering Houston’s climate. They can give you a heads-up on what to expect in terms of regular upkeep and potential repairs down the line.

11. Can You Provide Photos or Visuals in the Report?

Most home inspectors provide a written report with detailed findings, but having photos or visuals included can be incredibly helpful. Ask if the inspector will include photos of problem areas, so you can better understand the issues and explain them to contractors or specialists, if necessary.

12. What Happens If I Have Questions After the Inspection?

After reviewing the inspection report, you may have additional questions or need clarification. Ask your inspector how they handle follow-up questions. A good inspector should be willing to explain findings in detail and be available for post-inspection inquiries.

Conclusion: Get the Most Out of Your Houston Home Inspection

A home inspection is an essential part of the home-buying process, especially in Houston, where weather, soil, and climate present unique challenges. Asking these questions will ensure you get the most out of your inspection, helping you understand the property’s condition and plan for any repairs or maintenance.

Remember, a thorough inspection not only protects your investment but also gives you peace of mind as you move forward with purchasing your Houston home. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and gather as much information as possible—this will ultimately help you make a well-informed decision.

Rejuvenate Your Property's Exterior with Pressure Washing Services in London

London's vibrant streets are filled with a rich tapestry of architectural styles, from historic townhouses to modern skyscrapers. Yet, regardless of the architectural era, one thing remains constant: the need to maintain the exterior appearance of buildings and outdoor spaces. Over time, dirt, grime, moss, and pollution can accumulate, dulling the beauty of your property.

Fortunately, pressure washing services in London offer a powerful solution to restore and rejuvenate your property's exterior surfaces. In this blog post, we'll delve into the benefits of pressure washing and why it's an essential service for homeowners and businesses alike in the bustling city of London.

The Benefits of Pressure Washing:

Revives Curb Appeal: The exterior of your property is the first impression visitors and passersby have of your home or business. Pressure washing effectively removes dirt, stains, and discoloration, instantly enhancing curb appeal and leaving a lasting positive impression.

Protects Against Damage: Built-up grime, algae, and mold can not only diminish the appearance of your property but also cause long-term damage to surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood, and siding. Pressure washing helps prevent deterioration and prolongs the lifespan of exterior materials.

Improves Hygiene and Health: Mold, mildew, and algae growth not only look unsightly but can also pose health risks to occupants. Pressure washing eliminates these harmful substances, creating a healthier environment for residents, employees, and customers.

Enhances Property Value: A well-maintained exterior significantly increases the value of your property. Whether you're looking to attract potential buyers or simply take pride in ownership, pressure washing is a cost-effective investment that yields impressive returns.

Areas that Benefit from Pressure Washing:

Building Facades: Whether your property is clad in brick, stucco, vinyl siding, or another material, pressure washing removes dirt, grime, and pollutants, restoring the original beauty of the façade.

Driveways and Walkways: High-traffic areas such as driveways and walkways are prone to staining from oil, grease, and tire marks. Pressure washing effectively cleans these surfaces, enhancing safety and aesthetics.

Patios and Decks: Over time, patios and decks can become discolored and slippery due to algae, moss, and mildew growth. Pressure washing removes these hazards, making outdoor spaces safer and more enjoyable.

Roofing: Moss, algae, and lichen can compromise the integrity of your roof and detract from its appearance. Pressure washing safely removes these organic growths, extending the life of your roof and improving its curb appeal.

Choosing the Right Pressure Washing Service:

Experience and Expertise: Look for a pressure washing company with years of experience and a proven track record of delivering exceptional results.

Equipment and Techniques: Ensure that the company uses professional-grade equipment and employs safe, effective pressure washing techniques to avoid damage to your property.

Eco-Friendly Practices: Consider hiring a company that uses environmentally friendly cleaning solutions and adheres to sustainable practices to minimize the impact on the environment.

Customer Reviews: Read online reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge the company's reputation and customer satisfaction levels.

Conclusion: Pressure washing is a highly effective way to restore and rejuvenate your property's exterior surfaces, enhancing curb appeal, protecting against damage, and improving overall hygiene and health.

Whether you're a homeowner looking to maintain your investment or a business owner aiming to attract customers, pressure washing services in London offer a convenient and cost-effective solution to transform your outdoor space. With the expertise of experienced professionals and the power of high-pressure water, you can enjoy a clean, vibrant property that stands out in the bustling cityscape of London.
