I found my dream home! Wish me luck…

Cool place! Realize that when people built a house in the '30's, "insulation" hadn't been heard of but the windows look more modern. The bills could be scary high. I'm sure you can do some things to help, but "drafty" can't begin to describe a 1930's house.

That seems kind of high priced to me, but if you like it that's all that matters if you plan to keep it for a while.

You need better dreams..

Lol, no shit.

Congrats on finding the home though, best of luck with everything.

What the hell are you talking about? You are going to be buying something just like that for $800K out there!? lmao

[Cannon88]

Sweet! I love older, unique homes. Love the treed lot and non cookie cutter house.

I see a money pit. I've seen numerous homes as such.

Yeah, but for that $800k I'll make them mow the yard and give it a thorough scrubbing. I call the shots, dammit!

Things to ponder.

Updating complete electrical system
Plumbing usually rusted out and has galvanized supply lines
Don't even think of being energy efficient
Plenty of wood decay
Asbestos
Termite damages
Black mold
Insulation
Ventilation
All new appliances
HVAC system complete replacement
Termite damages
Poor drainage

Don't get caught up thinking it is all historic and charming. That is Realtor BS to make a sale.

Hey Rick, what makes you an authority on this?

Looks good to me. I would say that it had an update some time in the 50's. The blue tile and the tub in the bathroom both look like they came from the era. It looks good for the price IMO.

That house will nickel and dime you into an early grave. It does have potential. I said the same thing when I bought my house. Buy a house that someone else has already "seen the potential" in. You'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and aggravation.

I agree completely.

Since you have the means and the know-how to tackle any problems that might pop-up, at first blush I'd say go for it. If you can find some bigger issues that aren't too bad for you to handle, maybe you can squeeze them on the price a little.

You need better dreams..

I was thinking the same!

[Jimbo]

Damn, there are a lot of high class mofo's in here.

That's a really cool looking place and the price seems good to me. The garage space and land look great!

[projectPONY]

ehh, looks haunted. G/L
