House #7


Outside of Marlin is this property listed as a "beautifully restored 1891 farm house on 10 acres with additional 60 acres available" for $249,900. The interior photos look more like "replaced" than restored. It looks like all the original doors, windows, and trim have been replaced, as well as the roof and siding. It also sits right on the road, although that particular road is about the only pretty area we saw on our Marlin drive. (This property is still for sale.)

Pros:
"Old" house
On acreage
Reasonable price

Cons:
Too much updating; not enough good "bones"
Two story
No view; on road
Not a scenic area
Too far away
