Small, single-family homes that were primarily built in the mid-1900s, houses on Elm Street are the sort that get advertised as "fixer-uppers." There are a lot of rental homes here, the two-and-three bedroom properties run-down and in need of attention. Interiors are usually dated, with hardwoods that are nicked and dented or carpeting that could stand to be ripped out and replaced. Many are stuck with just one bathroom, though a few have taken advantage of partial basements to create tiny mother-in-law suites. The yards are pocket-sized, and only a few of them even have a garage - always detached, always single car. Vinyl siding on the exteriors almost always wants to be replaced.
Seth Monaghan's place isn't anything remarkable on the outside. On the outside, it looks like any of the other rundown, cookie-cutter houses on Elm Street with fading paint, cracked concrete, and a yard that is in some serious need of a gardener come springtime. Inside the story is much different. Inside the house is immaculate. Dark wood or laminate flooring covers the entirety of the downstairs, the walls have all been painted in neutral tones with some accent walls in shades of a dark burgundy red, and the decor is minimal but tasteful with some hanging art pieces by Anatole Krasnyansky that display a surreal kaleidoscope of color that makes the rooms pop interspersed with old movie posters for films like Aliens, Terminator, and other old action flicks.
As one moves through the house, the kitchen has been outfitted with the latest in stainless steel appliances. The living room is furnished with comfortable seating and well-used end tables arranged so that all of which allow the sitter to be able to be focused on the entertainment system against the far side of the room which sits below the mounted 80" UHD TV with backlit ambient lighting that takes up the majority of the wall, or the rooms other companions. The entertainment center contains the most recent generation of the top three gaming consoles, DVD player, and amplifier that is hooked up to the recessed speakers that are visible overhead for a true theater experience.
