Just bought a "new" house.

[FATHERFORD]

Wasn't really looking to move(was even about to put 50k into my current house), but found this gem. The house was built in the 70's, and has the wood paneling and crappy bathrooms to prove it. It was an estate sale that has been sitting empty since last november. I ended up making a DFWMustang low ball offer (well under 100k off asking price) and they took it. This will be a solid 5-10 year project, and another $100k worth of work for me to get it they way I want it, but it is a great foundation to build my dream home.

Specs:
3 acres
4000 sqft
5 car garage
30x50 metal building/motor home cover

Living: 15x18
Den: 21x24
Dining: 13x19
Kitchen: 11x12
Breakfast: 6x7
1st Bed: 18x15
2nd Bed: 13x13
3rd Bed: 11x13
4th Bed: 11x13
Study/Library/Mud Room: 9x11
Extra Room: 30x34
Utility Room Dim: 6x7


First order of business before the wife and I even move in is to redo the master bathroom, kitchen, and paint the wood paneling walls.

The well house needs to be rebuilt, and fix the sag in the 5 car garage. The sag in the garage is because the previous owner just built the support 2 inches shorter then the rest! Nothing a bottle jack and a new support can't fix.

the house/garage just had it's entire foundation stabalized with a lifetime warrenty.

Then it's just "little" stuff here and there.













Notice the indoor grill...

Fucking beasley texas...south west of houston.

It's out in the country, but 10 minutes in either direction and you are on a major highway or in town. I'm sure within 10 years their will be subdivisions all around.

Yeah my wife and I love older houses like this. Hopefully we just don't kill eachother with all the projects that need to be done. For a $180k though I couldn't turn this down.

That's awesome bro! Me and the wife just bought our first home last year. It's a newer house built in 06. We are hoping to score something along this line in the next 5 or so years that we can make our own. Congrats and good luck!!
