A Contrast of two Southwest Roanoke County homes
In my travels today I saw two homes that I wish could have been combined into one, taking the best of both and making the perfect home.
The first home listed at $189,950. Although the bathrooms needed updating, they were large and closets were large for a home built during that time. The basement level could have been a separate home, perfect for inlaws or a large family. Landscaping was mature and neat, with a fenced-in yard. However, the street would be nerve wracking for those with small children.
The second home, listed at $209,950, has been on the market for almost a year. I wondered if it was overpriced because it looked small online. Just as I suspected, things look differently in person. It was located in a beautiful area of southwest county that was new to me, very private. As I walked in the front door, I liked the arched doorways and open areas. In the kitchen were cabinets with glass fronts. The dining area had a built in cabinet. However, the main bath was small and the bedrooms were typical for a home of that age. But what price can you put on character?
