For sale: Townhouse

Okay, let's just get this out of the way... this is not the prettiest house on the block. And we're perfectly okay with that. Some homes come with the upgrades. This one comes with the opportunity. Is it a walk in, fall in love, don't change a thing kind of house? Nope. Is it a why would anyone choose that backsplash kind of house? Also nope - 'cause there isn't a backsplash to offend you! Think blank canvas, with the roof, garage, layout and a very good Stittsville address already taken care of. The finishes are basic, and the home is ready for attention. This is your chance to put your money into the home rather than into someone else's decorating choices. Want new flooring - pick it. Hate beige - paint it. Have strong opinions about light fixtures - excellent, you'll fit right in here. Maybe you've been waiting for a home where you can make the decisions instead of walking through a beautifully renovated property thinking, "Lovely... but I would have done absolutely none of this." The good stuff is already here: space, potential, freehold ownership, a garage and a location in Fairwinds that puts you close to all things Stittsville. This is an opportunity priced accordingly. Bring your vision, your paintbrush, your contractor, your Pinterest board. Sometimes the best value isn't the house with the fanciest countertops. Sometimes it's the house where you can buy the location, the space and the potential without paying $$$$ for somebody else's idea of perfect. If turnkey is what you're after, this one's not for you. But, if you look at a house and think, "Oh, I know exactly what I'd do here..." Come on in. We should talk.
