My daughter has asked me to look at a house she's considering buying.An older couple is selling and moving to a retirement home. asking around $260,000A couple of things I'm concerned about are the brick foundation with a dirt floor in the basement.Someone told her it would be around $5000 to pour cement.Also two of the room have tin ceilings. anything I should check? I've never even seen a tin ceiling.I'll be seeing the house after work this week.Thanks for any input.Steve Style: Colonial Color: White Total Rooms: 7 Bedrooms: 3 Full/Half/Master Baths: 1/0/No Fireplaces: 0 Grade School: Middle School: High School: Remarks Love at purse sight! This wonderfully maintained colonial has all the updates with yesterday's charm. Beautiful, authentic tin ceilings. Rooms have great flow, perfect for the whole family. Major updates make this home the best value for your $$. Cute yard, located on a quiet side street, yet close to shopping with a commuter friendly location. Property Information Approx.
