The house is charming, large and comfortable. Yet, it it is dated with very old mattresses. The house is musty.
I suppose all of that is to be expected with an older home.
However, what was extremely disappointing was the condition of the property. It was in the middle of having construction and about half the windows were painted over. Yes, you read that correctly. Several of the glass panes were entirely covered in paint. One room, âthe sun roomâ had no windows that were clear of paint.All of the shutters had been removed from the house. Construction debris was left outside . Several electrical outlets and lamps did not work. The microwave did not work either. The grounds were poorly maintained with lots of weeds. The home was dustyâŠperhaps left over from construction.
This is a lovely , old home in a great location, but it should not have been rented with the state of construction. We should have been informed about this ahead of time. And, we should not have been charged full price for it . The property management company did not acknowledge the construction as a problem but offered to have the construction materials located outside removed.
So, before you sign up for this property, you might want to make sure that it is not having major work done. Perhaps the owner was trying to get the house ready for the US Open. The house would be exceptionally nice with a deep clean, better curtains, new mattresses and pillows, electrical repairs and yard maintenance.
