About this property

Summary:
Be enchanted by this charming restored retreat with original details in the wood floors, doors, and trim. (We were inspired to take on our own fixer upper after we moved into our home featured in season 5 episode 1 of Fixer Upper on HGTV - the one with the moon door!) This bungalow was originally built in the 1930’s so has great character. Decorated with teal accent walls, open shelving in the country-kitchen, and mid-century furnishings, making this home comfortable yet stylish. Only 2 miles from Magnolia Silos and within walking distance of several coffee shops and cafes.

Not suitable and we didnt even stay there after all

We arrived at the property to meet a friend that was staying with us. When I saw the property, I was very disappointed. The house did not look like the pictures inside and out. The stairs were beginning to rot and the porch was dirty. The cleaners were there, and we had planned to return after they finished, but when we looked inside, it was a no for us. The couch was nasty looking. I have stayed in many VRBO properties around the country, and this is the first time I was totally disappointed. We had to scurry to find a hotel room, so we didnt properly make contact with the manager. I have been in contact with her to resolve this issue, but WE DID NOT EVEN STAY THERE. I suggested to the manager that she should have the property inspected and cleaned and repaired before renting it again.
