About this home
Room to grow, and the price to do it. This 1975 brick home with a two-story frame addition offers 2,811 heated square feet on a one-acre lot on Friendship Church Road, with no HOA. The original home has an expanded living and dining area anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace. The addition brings two flexible rooms currently used as bedrooms (one on each level), a second full bath, and a large former hair studio with plumbing still in place, ready to become a home office, guest suite or hobby space. Outside are a powered 10x18 utility building, a 14x26 workshop, a 10x20 lean-to and a double carport. Metal roof, private well and septic. Zoned AG-5; a home occupation business may be possible with county approval (buyer to verify). The home needs renovation and repairs and is sold as-is with the right to inspect. It's a strong candidate for a renovation loan such as Fannie Mae HomeStyle or FHA 203(k), which can finance the purchase and the repair work together.

Rule of thumb: a seller credit of about $3,353 (2.5% of the loan) could buy the rate down 1 point, to 6%, saving about $88/mo. Ask Dave how to negotiate it.
