House Hunting 12/6

I decided I am going to use the blog to write about the various homes I go see - what I like, what I don't, etc...  Today we went to 3 open houses.  We tried for #4 but the directions I had vs. the roads that actually exist didn't really match.

#1 - 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath
Pros - finished basement with full bathroom, new furnace and water heater, good master bedroom size

Cons - weird smell, smallish kitchen, weird layout with kitchen/dining room and a half wall type set-up, dated carpet, no private master bathroom, no central air, really ugly bathroom cabinetry

#2 - 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath - same complex as #1, slightly different first floor layout
Pros - bigger kitchen with open to dining area compared to #1, bonus room on 2nd floor (for storage, crafts, etc.), good master bedroom size, new windows

Cons - basement had very strong/odd odor, no central air, same really ugly bathroom cabinetry, dated carpets, no private master bathroom

Other - Note to the realtor: being forced to stand next to your extraordinarily pungent flavored coffee nearly caused me to puke.  Ick.

#3 - 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath
Pros - nice open kitchen, dining, living room - very bright with lots of windows and vaulted ceiling, central air, new kitchen appliances, "crisp" looking

Cons - very weird layout with most of unit on 3rd floor but a separate room on the 1st level, way too many stairs to climb (separate home on the 2nd level), strange kitchen corner, no private master bathroom

Other - aside from odd first floor room and massive number of stairs to get to the home, all living is on one floor - not sure how I feel about that...
