[quote=Anonymous]If you are not comfortable putting in a new kitchen/baths, I would not buy that house, OP. I've owned several houses, and put in two new kitchens -- a huge project in the best of circumstances. If you have small children it will be an unbearable burden unless you have the money to get the kitchen/baths replaced before you move in.

We are living in a fixer upper (so much worse than the house you are thinking about). Did the kitchen before we moved in, but didn't have time to do the baths, and now a year later, nothing has been done, and it likely won't be finished for a few more years. Our bathrooms are HORRIBLE, much worse than the ones in the house you posted, yet we're living with them for the forseeable future.

If I were you, I'd skip this house. If you think it's a fixer upper, you are likely asking for trouble. Find a house you can live with, and buy that. Plus that pool -- well, no way would I ever buy a house with a pool, so I wouldn't even consider this house unless the sellers took 10K off the price or removed the pool.[/quote]
