Great Investment? ...let's hope!

Here are some pics of my house. This is my first purchase... and if I had to do it all over again, I would probably buy something in a little better condition. That said, I think it's a great investment. I started the renovation officially in February of 2004. Many $1,000's later, my house has come a long way.

Here's a summary of the major work already accomplished:

• New roof
• All new copper plumbing with whole-house water filter
• Updated electrical, outlets, and lighting
• NEW KITCHEN!
• Central Heat & Air
• New carpet upstairs
• Refurbished hardwood floors in the kitchen area
• New 1/2 bath and laundry room on 1st floor
• New Master Bathroom
• Rehabbed Enclosed porch and vestibule
• Refinished Dining and Living Rooms
• New carpet upstairs
• Refinished original hardwood floors (whew! ...and yes, drum/belt sanders WILL leave marks in your floor if you leave them in one spot for more than .3 nanoseconds)

What was originally listed as a 5 bedroom, 3 kitchen, 2 1/4 bath house has really turned out to be a 3 bedroom, one kitchen, 2 1/2 bath house.
