#3 Design
Let’s face it; some house designs are just plain bad. I mean, have you ever seen a “beautiful” octagonal house. Is your house perfectly square with no porch or opposing roofline, a garage door directly below a bedroom window that has no definition between the two, just a flat wall? If you have a house that has had 3 additions and none of them match, you might have an Ugly House. Also, It might be that the house design has no connection with what’s commonly in the area and is totally out of place.
#4 Broken Items or Half-Finished Projects
Did you start to build a garden or paint 10 years ago and give up? Does your cat consider the pile of dirt in your yard their litterbox? Is your yard filled with unfinished projects? Also, take a look around. Do you have broken windows, blinds, or screens, a weathered unpainted front door, a fence that has fallen on the ground? Do you have missing roof shingles and hanging exterior light fixtures? If you have any of these, you might have an ugly house!
#5 Landscape
How old is your landscape? Is it so overgrown that you can’t see the house or out your windows? Do you have that bush that has taken over your house and caused paint discoloration or wrapped around the gutter? Are your walkways overgrown with grass? Do you drive in your front yard right up to the porch because the lawn is dead? A sure symptom is dead or overgrown or boring plants around the yard. If your landscape has no rhyme, reason, or color, you might suffer from the Ugly House syndrome.
