Home is nice but I'm still hunting

The A-frame building might not be worth keeping.

Front entrance faces a major street in Goshen

Small one-car carage next to main entrance

off driveway/alley

A view of the main entrance and kitchen window.

The home has 60 amp electricity. See the irregularity in the siding near

the front? It comes off but we're not sure what is inside. Since it goes

to the kitchen, I think it might be the garbage disposer equipment.

This home near Goshen College looks great but the location – well, that could be a problem. This 761 SF home was completely remodeled about six years ago. The siding, shingles, vinyl windows, tub and kitchen all are quite nice. The cabinets in the bath and kitchen are Homecrest cabinets. It has two small but livable bedrooms of about the same size, a decent sized living room and a kitchen with just enough room for a small table. The bathroom is next to kitchen and the water heater, which is nice for dishes and hot showers.

There are not as many negatives for this home but the largest is its location. It is on a busy road and the home sits no more than 15 feet from it. Apparently, this road is about to be widened which would decrease the distance by another 4’ to 5’. At 40’ x 112’, the lot is smaller than both the homes that I have previously toured. The small A-frame barn in the backyard is not very nice but it and the small garden could be removed to increase the size of the yard. With the main entrance from an alley/driveway to the west, there is not much room for parking. The one-car garage is nice but the slab behind it is the only other good place to park other than the backyard.
I am looking at another home between the high school and the college Friday morning. It is on two lots, which would feel pretty spacious compared to the first three. After that, there is at least one home I hope to tour on Goshen's north side next week. Yet another home between the college and the high school is for sale by its owner. I want to call them to see what they are asking. Of the three homes I have viewed, the last two are still possibilities. I am not rushing yet, but it would be nice to move in by the end of June before a very busy July. The search is on. Where will this exciting journey end?
