No actually both the upstairs/attic and the basement are unfinished. The upstairs was never finished, and apparantely that was pretty common on these 50s tract houses, I've seen a couple others in this city also with unfinished upstairs. And lots that have already had it finished. With the way the stairs are done in the house and the current roofline, there's a headroom (actually, torso-room) problem, I'll have to rework the stairs or bump out a dormer to fix that, but the area upstairs is about 9 feet tall at the peak, with about a 9/12 pitch so there can be some good sized rooms up there.
To be honest I don't think the house has all that much character even with the awnings, it looks exactly like all the other houses on the street, awnings and all. Eventually I might like to add a front porch, I think that would give it some character and set it apart from many of the other houses. The ones that do have porches always seem so much more cozy and inviting, to me anyway.
Jamis I did get an inspection, btw. And the inspector did notice a few things I wouldn't have, nothing serious and it was all taken care of, but it's good for peace of mind.
