Comments on condition:
The house formally known as BUG.
Beautiful Old House, Big rooms, Great location, but in need of many repairs. We have some mice and moth problems, the moths are worse. The rooms are individually rented and individually LOCKABLE, but the living, kitchen, and bathroom spaces are all shared.

Are there window screens? No
Are there storm windows? No
Is the residence warm enough? Yes, but it's very expensive to heat
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): Yes

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
The windows are all going to be repaired this summer I am told, so this may not apply next year.
Some windows are fine, but most are either (a) lacking a screen window (b) lacking a storm window (b) lacking a glass window at all, being made instead of cheap plastic.

Explanations and comments:
Mary bought this house from Mr. Tom Gimben in October 2004, and is much better. When we have had any repair problems, she has been very prompt in getting her handy man or another repair person to fix it.

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Mix
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? None of the above

Comments on the neighborhood:
Nice location, a one-two minute walk from Mudd, a four minute walk at most from King. The house has been a party house in decades past, and has quite a history, but lately it has been fairly quiet.
