Oh man, would I ever love to have you living across the street! However, this house has been unoccupied for at least 12 years, the old gentleman who owned it died in 2001, there was controversy over the Will. His ex-wife who lives in Massachusetts now owns it and her lawyer has been doing nothing but paying the taxes and having the grass mowed once a year.
Oh yeah, and they also cut that Calliandra down - you know, like a helicopter came through, and that usually happens right about now, when it is in bloom.
What I'm saying is the house is very likely full of bees and creepy-crawlies, and might even be a tear-down, full of mold etc. Well, you could build what you want then, anyway. There is even a 70's vintage Cadillac in the little shed around back . . if you need a car. I would think it might go for lot value right now. The house next door has been on the market for a year (it is a more recent wreck) and is priced about $70,000.
Sorry, the flowers were ruined by the rain last night, all soggy and smushed except this one that was under the leaf canopy a bit.
