Redfin agents who toured

Very large Moss Hill home, though it is dated, in some areas more than others. Wallpaper in most rooms and the kitchen is somewhat dark and small, so there would be a lot of work to bring this home into modern times, aesthetics wise. The master...
suite does not have any closet in the actual room, but the staircase to the third floor is within the master suite, and that level is used as a master suite closet, as well as an office/den area. There is a large back deck which overlooks a large private back yard. Overall, it is a lot of house that could be made to be quite nice, for someone willing to take on a project. There is no driveway, only street parking.
