Property Description
This home belongs on the cover of Country Cottage magazine. With its hardwood floors & painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, paired with wallpaper that resembles lace doilies & a chest of drawers converted into a bathroom vanity, this cozy home exudes Southern charm that draws you in & refreshes you like a Mason Jar of sweet tea. The floorplan is unique forming a complete circle on the first floor. Take a moment to appreciate the details: Expansive brick fireplace w/wooden mantle and picture window in the living room. Sage accent wall & matching closet doors in the owners' bedroom. Rustic fixtures in the kitchen with a vintage oven, open shelving & floral accents. The mud room serves a dual purpose of washing/drying clothes & propogating plants for springtime gardens. Glass doors in the living room offer quick access to a comfortable family room without walking the entire circle! Butterfly bushes & magnolia trees decorate the yard. Bamboo shades are custom cut & will remain with the house, as will the gorgeous pergola. Refrigerator, washer & dryer can also stay with an acceptable offer. With all the focus on the vintage, we'd be remiss not to mention all the work done to modernize this 1950s bungalow: New roof in 2022. New gutters & water heater in 2024. HVAC in 2021. Updated electrical work performed by a licensed electrician. More than $20,000 invested in new vinyl windows. The home currently offers city sewer service & private well water. Buyer can connect to the city water supply if desired. The water meter is already installed in the front yard. The home rests on a large flat lot that measures nearly an acre. Raised garden beds are lush with tomatoes & raspberries in the summertime. Native plants & trees add natural beauty. 5 pairs of Eastern Bluebirds nest here & a family of squirrels lives in a pine tree in the back yard. The home is within walking distance of community schools, athletic fields, church & a steakhouse that draws patrons from throughout the area. Last but not least are the ''blank canvas'' features on the property that are ready for a new owner's energy and elbow grease: A second home on the property is currently used as a workshop or as storage. The second floor of the main house has ceilings below the required heights and thus cannot be counted in the square footage, however, the second floor can certainly serve as an office, playroom, craft space or storage. It is plumbed for a bathroom too! There is also a basement outfitted with electricity & water. This basement is accessible from the family room AND from the outside. How will you use your creativity to make this home your own? Come tour and let the planning begin!

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
