For the area they are considered 'moderate' homes...not too fancy...not to small/plain.
They sells constantly for $125,000 to 129,000 |
WOW - we must really think a lot of our homes in our area. I live in northeast georgia near Lake Hartwell(this drives the prices). Atlantans buy our lake houses as weekend homes. I just sold our 2BR 2 bath ... 1300 sq ft home ... approx 1/2 acre terrible lot ... had very nice features...lake view only-no access...very samll DR...nice master suite for $134000.
We turned around and purchased a house off the lake closer to town - 2200 sq ft...3 BR...3 baths...full unfinished attic with stairs ... cellar basement ...1 full acre... beautiful old landscaping-former owner was president of garden club ... small 2 BR 1bath rental on the lot.
All this for only $150,000. We had to do a lot of cleaning, painting and a little electrical work. Everyone who worked on the house said it was one of the best built houses they've seen.
I think we got the better deal.
Most new homes in the area are selling for 200,000-250.000 for a house like the one you described above.
