1303 Rural St, Emporia, KS – $79,900
4 Bed, 1.5 Bath, 2342 square feet. Check out the street view here. The listing ad says this is a handyman’s dream.

: I love the exterior!

: The fireplace and shelves reminds me of a show I saw on either TLC or HGTV. The know-all-about-staging host came in to a house similar with a fireplace and bookshelves very similar to this, the host walks in and says it looks dated. So what do they do? Paint the bookshelves white and cuts out a thin piece of plywood to put over the brick. They did other things, but what they did to the fireplace and bookshelves was pretty fugly. Sorry, this made me think of the awfulness of that show.

: Window seat.
