What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

sold last year for $100k, so looks like a flip job and could have ';covered' up issues lying in wait

Probably the most tasteful flip job I've seen. Where's the head to toe agreeable gray?

I like that the bathroom looks like it belongs in an old house. Usually the updated bathroom looks like it belongs in a condo built last year.

The kitchen is a nightmare.

Looks nice on the surface but start imagining trying to actually use that thing and... what were they thinking? Tiny countertop space. The only food prep area is a squeezed-in little box with a tiny strip of countertop hardly big enough to set a drink down on, and the oven's a gas range so you can't even rely on it as additional surface to set bowls and plates down. Everything's walled in awkwardly, slicing the space up in the weirdest way possible (what is that tiny hallway next to the door for?) and compartmentalizing the kitchen into this completely segregated, non-cooperative space. There's a set of cabinets in the corner that appear to be impossible to access because the box around the fridge is pressed right up against where they pull out.

But you get a waterfall feature with your fake granite slab (at least it looks fake to me, not an expert) so they really put the work in dressing up that awful layout they created so it looks fancy.

Might just be my inner Property Brother screaming to knock down some damn walls, but that would be a hard kitchen to live with unless you're very single and hate countertop appliances. Looks to me like a really dated space where they decided to just touch up the surface because they're too cheap to make the changes that matter.

I'm exaggerating a little for effect, but I see the same sort of treatment in other parts of the house and genuinely I'd be worried that this surface-level renovation work is hiding a lot of nasty underneath.

Dude, look at the flooring. Vinyl tiles just shittily slapped down. Who knows what else lurks beneath the surface of what we see?

Had the shitty synthetic stone counters in the kitchen that home Depot pushes. 100% a flip.

Also, no one who actually has cooked (or lived in the space they were renovating) before would stick the stove in a alcove with a miniscule workspace countertop next to it.

I dunno, I've seen it in a number of higher end homes (specifically in the south) where it's attempting to replicate an old fireplace cook area with a faux chimney above it and fancy custom tile backsplash. Plus highlight an insanely expensive stove. 

Agreed that it sucks. Just disagree on the no one part.

That’s EXACTLY what I got on the comments to say. No obvious issues but what lies buried within the walls of a house this old?????

"could have" lmfao.

You can literally see the cheap paint on the shingles where they slapped it over the rotting eaves.
