this house is the nicest house we looked at. As soon as we walked in you could tell it was well taken care of. the seller had owned the house since 1979. its a ranch all the electrical can be seen from the basement. all clean straight runs. no hacked homeowner add on runs. The septic system didnt pass inspection so the sellers paid $15000 for a new raised system. area is full of clay so the original system drained just not fast enough to meet inspection. The only clay pipe is from the house 10 feet out to the first crap tank. The roof was torn off and replaced in 2010. the house has a natural gas generator that instantly turns on when the power goes out. the furnace is a high efficient one with PVC venting. how ever it is almost 20 years old. the water heater is a high efficient one with PVC venting that is 5 years old. i'm not saying this house is perfect. it has somethings that need attention. Nothing major.

This home is a huge improvement from the 1934 2 story house we spent the last six years in. Nothing was square and there was no point trying to make anything. if you did it would look out of place. The house has every generation of wiring in it.
