My House

My House has been sold!! (July/07)

My house, more of a cottage, is 732 sq. feet on a large lot 166' x 66' filled with everblooming perennials, berry bushes and trees. Its located on the corner of Everatt St. and Byron St. in Lions Head, ON.

In the spring, the front and back yard blazes with tulips, next an onslaught of lupins, then all sorts of lilies and irises, and so on. It finally ends in a swath of "bare naked ladies" (fall).

4 years ago , I moved to this small fixer-upper to "find myself and garden". Now after a good long rest , I am ready to go back to the city fray with not as much fixing done as I would like. So theres lots left to do for the enterprising new owner.

One storey, kitchen/living room open concept, one bedroom, another room which I call computer room, 3 piece bathroom and an attached storage shed. Cement walled crawl space, which runs under whole house, with entry from within house.

I have lived through 4 years of severe winter storms and spring winds with thunder and lightning and the house felt very secure and safe.

The house is probably about 100 yrs old as it originally was the "chop mill" for the area. Is on town water and town services, has a septic system as town is not yet equipped for sewers. Taxes low-about 760.00/yr. Heated with microefficient oil furnace which costs approximately $700.00/ year.

I am asking $89,900.00 for this property, which is the cheapest buy in town at present. If I could afford to, I would keep it as a summer property and slowly rebuild to have my retirement home ready.
