Soooooo, we went to see this house yesterday. It's a 1990 build that is in need of some TLC - it needs a new roof, the windows may last a couple years?, a new front deck (the current one is rotten), new flooring and carpeting throughout, the hardwood floors need refinishing, it needs to have a complete paint/putty job and the kitchen would eventually be replaced or painted or something. (I HATE IT!!!), plus because it a country road, it's also well and septic that is unknown territory for us!
Now the positives....It is on a country road nestled on 6.5 acres, it has the interior and exterior space we want, plus the added bonus of a small sun room, a 2nd floor loft/family room with skylights, a garage and large shed. It has character and I can totally see ourselves in it once our Reno's are done.
It's a scary venture! I think our realtor thought "Oh, Sue will so not like this", but there is something about this one... I haven't felt like this about a house yet. The house it priced over our "budget", but we are HOPING we can get a MAJOR price drop because of all the work that needs to be done... plus the house is sitting empty and we assume that slight desperation to sell may be to our advantage. Sooooo lots to think about!
Feel free to give me your opinion to help us make the decision..lol

Hmmm, not sure what to say about it without actually looking at it. I absolutely love the yard though. I could see you having nice large get-togethers there. The children would have so much space to play. Ty would have tons of room to ride around on his 4-wheeler. It's going to be a hard decision. If you get the price down, perhaps it would be all worth it.
