$280K West End Bungalow Has Mysterious Renovated Interior

An early 20th century home in Historic West End — until recently an unloved mess — has undergone a "meticulous" renovation that has allegedly transformed it into a "gorgeous" finished product. Unfortunately, you'll have to take the listing's word for it, as the only images are "before" pictures of a house in less-than-stellar shape. From the outside, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath bungalow exudes 1920s charm with an invitingly large covered porch. According to the listing, you'll now find granite counter tops in the kitchen and hardwood floors throughout. In the pre-renovation photos, you can also spot some appealing original elements such as molding and large pocket doors. If you've got a sense of adventure and $280,000 to spare, this could be your lucky day.
