Is “required to be demolished” a bad sign?
Is “required to be demolished” a bad sign?
This is a 1224 square foot, Multiple Occupancy home. It is located at 532 Hemenway Pl, South Beloit, IL.
I looked back in time on Google maps. This was a garage.
You can see the back 12-15 feet was added on too.
I thank you for your dedication
Thank my boring ass job
That makes the concrete floor make sense. How it came to be a... pretend house on its own property is still a mystery.
The housing market is so bad in a lot of places, people are trying to turn every garage, basement, and garden shed into a separate dwelling to rent out or sell for some extra cash.
Floor 2 is a fucking mystery. Its too low to walk around the perimeter, but they didn't install a floor in the middle. There's not enough room for insulation between the sun-beaten roof and the living space, but that might be less of an issue because of the huge holes in the trim letting in a steady flow of outside air. That vaulted ceiling also means the house will lose all its heat in the Winter.
There's no window or exhaust fan in the bathroom.
It looks like there are holes in the outside wall where windows could be installed, but there are metal flaps there instead. Best case scenario is there is no wall insulation between those flaps and the interior drywall, getting wet and doing biology.
I thought you were overeacting on the upper floor, but what the fuck were they thinking with that???
I love that the required to be demolished part is under the "what's special" section lmao
It’s certainly a unique feature.
John Deer in the living room. Classic design choice. And is that outdoor fencing used as railing upstairs?
Only if you're not planning to demolish the whole thing.
You... are planning on demolishing the whole thing, aren't you?

DIY masters. Reminds me of a house i looked at years ago, the owner had built an entire glaziers workshop attached to the back of the house, with no planning or permits - i did not make an offer
It’s a bit of a fixer-upper (derogatory)
It's a shed for your John Deer with a shag space on the upper deck, Classy.
