Floor Plan

I want to say a special thanks to Brian Schantz with TeamWorks Real Estate LLC for providing a floor plan of the standard Pimmit Hills house that could be adapted based on the pictures and information received on 7301 Pimmit Ct. This gives a little bit better idea what 884 sq. ft. really means.

Please note that this layout does not include the none permitted rear addition.

Pictures! Part 2 of 2 (Interior)

So this one couldn't wait for a normal weekend post.

Realtor Ken Issacman of Isaacman Properties, provided us with pictures of the exterior and interior of 7301 Pimmit Ct. We are breaking the post into two sections, the exterior and the interior.

Ken warned us that the house has been ransacked, as the only electrical items are a dishwasher and a ceiling fan.

Interior:

Ugly kitchen cabinets and tile, but at least there is a sink and an old dishwasher. I wonder if they even work. It is interesting to note just how many Realtors have been through the house and left their cards over the years.

Here is where the kitchen stove, oven, and cabinets belong.

The kitchen floor looks to be in bad shape.

A laundry room without washer or dryer. It looks like mold in the bottom left corner but it might just be dirt.

Apparently there is mold on the right hand side of the laundry room.

The bathroom with bad tile and holes in the walls. The sink looks to be the best thing in there.

Shaky picture of the living room, not much to say as the walls and floor are not very clear.

First bedroom.

Second bedroom, looks like moisture issues with the wall. It could really use some elbow grease.

Third bedroom wall repair.

Ceiling in the third bedroom does not look too stable, especially with fixes to the ceiling and a fan taped in place.


With all the issues in on the walls I wonder how much was due to water from the snow in February.

Exterior:

They grass is in sad shape but besides that no real change in the outside front of the house.

The front stoop looks a bit dirty, and the broken porch light is cut off in this picture but all in all not bad (complete with winterization certificate).

The not permitted addition. Looks like it was just added onto a cement slab, there appears to be a crack at the bottom left corner.

Walkway to enter the rear of the house. I think we can safely say that the addition was probably a screened porch until they added it on.

It just keeps snowing!

Unless you have been under a rock, you know that the Washington DC area was hit with record snow this February and while I spent it helping other people dig out from the snow it made me wonder about some of the vacant properties in our area did and how they handeled the record snowfall.

In this installment of it just keeps snowing we are going to look at Pimmit Hills and some of the Bank Owned/Short Sale properties where you might want to look for water damage. Even if they have been winterized it is still a large load on the roof and a lot of water just slowly melting.

FX6953599 2017 NORDLIE PL
FX6888001 7301 PIMMIT CT
FX7255806 1931 HILLSIDE DR (potentially the worst offender with a flat roof extention)

While I hope that neighbors might get out and help keep property values up by helping remove snow and ice that could damage a house in the long run I know that that is honestly not very likely.
