Post Tour Opinions #3 – 830 Malta


This house I was really impressed with. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The living room was huge, the bathroom was decent, all the bedrooms had hardwood floors, and the kitchen was nice looking. Closet space was maybe a little lacking, but that seems to be the trend, unfortunately. I didn’t find much wrong with the inside of the main floor, actually. The basement was, well, a basement. There was an “office” down there, but it’s clearly not a legal room, and is fairly rough looking. There was also a full bathroom downstairs, although I would probably never use that shower by choice. It’s at least plumbed, though, so the shower itself could be changed. The breezeway connecting the house to the garage felt a little spartan; very “concrete slab” for the style. The garage looked decent; two separate garage doors, one for each car. There were a few things I didn’t like, though. For starters, the yard is non-existent. What you see out front IS the yard. On the side by the garage and around back there is a deck, and NOTHING IS GROWING. Not even weeds. The location is kinda crappy, too. It’s not that it’s in a bad neighborhood; it seems to be in a fairly decent neighborhood, actually. No, the main problem is that it’s DIRECTLY across from an elementary school. A big one. School traffic would suck, not to mention all the children walking to and from school, and potentially cutting across what exists of the yard. See, that’s the other problem; it’s on an “inside corner” of two streets, Malta and Emerald. So overall, I really like this house; this is the style of house I was hoping to be able to find for a first house. I just do not like the location, at all. So the search continues.

    This was my favorite house of the four we toured. There wasn’t really anything that I couldn’t live with about it, and most I liked. Except the location. I can’t live across the street from an elementary school. Or any large school for that matter. If it weren’t for that, I’d be all over it. Bugger.
