Interesting property. Not a bad price but in need of moderate to substantial updates for today's market. | ||

And wait until you get the quote for the homeowner's insurance, if it's available at all. | ||

The exterior reminds me of a visitor's center in a park. All that paneling on the interior makes it look like an old mobile home. | ||

Nice place and property.The paneling appears to be real plank panels-not plywood.Keep that.The laundry area appears to be sort of weird and inconvenient. | ||

 I like that house. It reminds me of the homes that were considered to be up to date in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Having wood paneling then was the rage! And the colored bathroom fixtures were considered to top of the line.
Some of the carpeting needs to be replaced due to wear and buckling, and as Dan noted replacing the toilets with colored ones that match the other bathroom fixtures, replaced the window coverings and some new wall paper, but other than that and maybe some fresh paint I could move in and live there. Plus the setting is beautiful. Only trouble is it’s in Florida and I don’t know how long I could tolerate living there, sorry Floridian’s.

Interesting 1957 house
Nice looking house from the outside nice grounds, the large trees would have to go as the home is just one windstorm away from being destroyed when a tree falls on it, a lot of people don’t get rid of the big trees and plant enough, smaller trees and properties like this become very Poor bets when storm hits.
I The kitchen is a GE kitchen or what’s left of it, the wall oven is a white Westinghouse product 70s Frigidaire dishwasher. Even the heating registers are GE, probably would be a difficult house to air condition with all the registers low on the floor. I wonder if the house is all electric it would probably cost a good bit to operate today. Hopefully, it’s at least been upgraded to a heat pump. I never liked houses on a concrete slab, they’re just not comfortable to live in, as others mentioned insurance cost, and just having to live in Florida weather would be a dealbreaker immediately.

"all the registers low on the floor" I believe that in the Northeast, this is common practice. Probably since warm air during heating season is provided through the same vents.

One of the oddities of the kitchen is the addition of a hood over the GE stove. It's built right above the sliding door cabinet that hangs over the cooktop. Can't imagine it having much effect! And talk about greasy! Greg | ||

I think that the trees and landscaping make this home beautiful. I wouldn’t worry about the large trees provided that they are thinned and trimmed annually to remove the excess weight from the canopy. This way large trees can withstand high winds because canopies that are appropriately maintained don’t become sails in high winds, and this prevents them from swaying, weakening and possibly falling.
The trees make this home beautiful and also provide shade that will help keep the interior cool in the summer. The slab foundation also helps to keep the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, because concrete stays cool in the summer if its covered and in the winter there is no heat loss from cool air coming through the floor from a crawlspace.
