I don't remember it, just the house too close to the smurf house. Apparently the side yard belongs to the other house. The smuf house's just has a fence going from the corner of the house to the street.
The one in the middle has giant windows and the last that I saw they backed up their washer and dryer to them.
Wouldn't you?
Would that keep bad guys out as well as bars on the windows? Would that keep residents in as well as bars on the windows?
Anyway,
$126,0002 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 1,293 square feet
1261 E Huning, Show Low, AZ 85901Severely edited for grammar, but it doesn't really say anything:

One idiot bought the 520-square-foot smurf house, in horrible disrepair, for $65,000. They fixed it up and I am still waiting to see how much the next idiot paid, but you can get a far bigger house for the $185,000 they were asking.
The sandstone house is in Clay Springs, almost half an hour away, with septic and propane, but it is on half an acre, and has a large outbuilding, which would have made a great work space.
They asked $123 per square foot and probably got it. The ad does say as-is, but there aren't any obvious problems.
So, yes, it is half an hour away from downtown Show Low, as much as Show Low has downtown, and utilities would cost more, but they asked 32% less for almost twice as much space in the house, an outbuilding a significant fraction the size of the smurf house, and more than triple the land.
The latest house is in much better shape than the smurf house was, 2 houses down, 148% larger, for 20% less per square feet than the original smurf house seller got.
You know, for a house slightly larger than Mom's (minus the garage), it doesn't look it!
The outside needs to be pressure-washed and repainted. Oddly there is a side door at the very front of the right side.
The front porch light needs to be replaced.
It looks like a gutter is hanging from the bottom of the eave over the front door.
The inside needs to be repainted and the floors need to be redone, but that is normal. There are weird problems with the drywall. Prime and paint?
That's not drywall! That looks like interior paneling for mobile homes!
People usually say to demolish the kitchen cabinets and install new ones. I like to save stuff, but the doors and drawers have worn-off edges. I don't know how to fix that except for replacing the fronts, which would be vastly cheaper and easier than replacing the entire cabinets.
It is missing some paneling in the kitchen, like the smurf house was. What is the deal?!
It is weird. It looks like they had appliances along a wall between 2 doorways, but the appliances would be in the way! I guess that someone removed the paneling for the oven and whatever the other appliance was, plus some plumbing.
Some plumbing that isn't near any visible sinks or anything.
Weird!
There also once were shelves, which were removed, and you can see where the old shelves were.
It looks like there is a hole in the ceiling!
There are acoustic tiles. Is there any drywall in this house?!
Shelves were also installed and removed from the closets without cleaning up.
There is some kind of small shed with a fence around it.
Weird!
It only shows 2 sides of the house. It needs the old paneling and flooring removed, drywall installed, paint inside and out, and new floors.
Do you guys see any big problems? It probably needs a new roof. I don't have the time to post pictures now, but I will soon!
At least there aren't visible cracks above the doors and windows!
