There has been s~ere water da::::,age du~ to roofleaka~e and there is e~tensive mold and wood ro~t ) <br />throughout. <br />. ~vidence ~ critters.>nesting in the, hOlge,' <br />. There is no basement, only a crawl space with a dirt floor. I did not enter the crawl space, but viewing <br />the area from the in-floor access panel exposed a large area of the masonry foundation wall122s cavedm)" <br />and allows water into the crawl space which also has extensive mold issue. <br />. The interior floor plan is outdated and has been altered to an extent that relocating of interior walls <br />would be necessary were we to try and remodel. <br />. The mechanical systems, electrical, plumbin and HV AC a!e outdated, do not appear to b~ ~ wOlt(il~ <br />onl~i poorly locate and would need to be replaced. <br />. All interior finished surfaces including ceilings, walls and floors would need to be replaced. <br />. The bathl'ooms and kitchen would requ~ new fixtu~, cabinets and appliances. <br /> <br />The lot itself is very im~e. Larg~i:1 a~ce quiet nei=d ~rrounded by w <br />homes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Based on our experience with both new constmction and extensive whole house remodeling, it will be less <br />expensive to demolish the existing stmcture and build a new home, than it would be to extensively remodel and <br />add a new foundation and full basement. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or would like additional information please call. <br /> <br />Thank You, <br />Bill Buelow <br /> <br />HousingR_e Center'" <br /> <br />Sonthside <br />3800 Longfellow Avenue South <br />Minneapolis, MN 55407 <br /> <br />Northeast <br />909 Main Street NE <br />Minneapolis, MN 55413 <br /> <br />NorthMetro <br />1170 County Road I <br />Shoreview, MN 55126 <br /> <br />Northwest <br />2140-44th Avenue North <br />Minneapolis, MN 55412 <br />
