This Dated Queens House Needs Help Realizing Its Potential

Under the fiberglass drop ceiling tiles, linoleum, and vaguely hip chevron paneling lies a Colonial-style house that really, really needs some help in the form of a full renovation. The 2,900-square-foot Jamaica Estates house looks like something straight out of the suburbs on the outside—sprawling lawn, attached two-car garage and all—but its interiors have been the victim of a few—okay, a lot of—bad decisions that have turned the house into a cringeworthy spectacle. It's asking $985,000 as is, and will require just about everything to bring it up to speed, but with some patience and a deep-pocketed buyer, this one can thrive.
