House #14

On the same drive as #13, we took a look at this little gem. This was built in 1908 and moved to its current acreage in 1978. The ad is contradictory regarding the number of acres - in one place it says five and another place it says 10.69. There are no pictures of the interior, but it is described as "classic architecture, wood floors, and beautiful wood paneling." Although visible from the road, it's set back, and is on a fairly secluded county road. Even better, it's only about 30 minutes from home. Listed at $270,000, it's not a bad deal. However, it's two story, and has no view to speak of.

Unfortunately, I had seen this listing in early December but by the time we got around to looking at it, it was already under contract. This is the only one of all we've seen so far that I think might have been a serious contender. It remains listed as "Pending."

Pros:

Cute old Victorian

On acreage (although perhaps not enough)

Good location

Presumed to have good bones

Reasonable price

Cons:

No idea about inside condition

No view

Perhaps not enough acreage

Ad states there is no AC (although it lists central heat)

Two story
