Bryon and I bought a house in November, and this is what it looked like. Beaming with potential. Two bedroom, two bathroom, one "garage". About a month after we closed, we received the original blueprints in the mail. Turns out the house was built by a well known local architect, Frederick Kershner.
Original blueprints...from a house built in 1939, just showed up in the mail.
Looking at living room and front door from kitchen doorway.
Kitchen, all counters were wheelchair height. 
Garage, except the garage door has been replaced with a wall, so it is not functionally a garage.
Looking at the fireplace/planter combo that divides the hearth of the house. Living room on left and dining room is on the right but it is blocked by an upright Steinway piano (which we worked into the agreement). 
Living room, great windows.
From the front door looking into living room.
Main bathroom.
Master bedroom, wall of closets.
Guest bedroom.
Guest bedroom, wall of closets.
From the backdoor, looking at the front door.
From dining room, looking into kitchen.
Back of the house from backyard.
Backyard.
And the backyard goes back for 3/4 of an acre. Overgrown. Hasn't been touched in at least 40 years. So, we began.
