OHC Notes $999,000
Massachusetts fixer upper in shambles. This home deserves to be preserved, and frankly it has left some unresolved questions of mine. Why is there an “updated” kitchen and exercise equipment, yet the painted tin ceilings are peeling and the hardwood is rotting? The home gives off the presence of it being a club at one point with the ledge velvet seating by the fireplace. The bathroom looks as if has lead-based paint peeling. While it’s obvious that a few of the bedrooms were occupied quite recently, were the tenants squatters or DIYers? The overall home gives off a haunted energy.
