Sad old house...


This poor old house has been for sale for ages. Looks small from the front, but it actually extends quite far back. So it's a good size.


Sorry for the blurrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It's on a busy road, so I had to take pics, while moving by. And this pic, showing that it's bigger than it seems ~~ came out too blurry.
.

Our thought is, how far back does the property extend? Could the house be moved back farther, from the road? Some natural barrier of trees planted, along the front edge of property? And thus, make it more desirable?
.
Then again, what shape is it in? Is it worth it, all round? But in today's depressed housing market, seems like the time to grab it. If one had the money to speculate with!!! :-) Nope, we don't!!!
.
Then, what's the story of the house? Who built it? How many people lived in it? Why has it been abandoned for so long? Etc. Etc. Etc. -sigh- I think it's just the cutest thing. Maybe I'll call the real estate people and see if I know anyone in that office, and maybe find someone who will be willing to answer my "How come?" questions. :-)
