Hmmm. *"one of a kind residence" *with just one photo. *Nahhh.... *that's*
not a red flag....

"One of a kind" can mean a lot of things, not all of them good. *"The
money pit" with Hanks and Long comes to mind.

Someone mentioned ghost house a post or two up. *Maybe that is the real
house from the Amityville horror.

Real estate in the boondocks of upstate NY has always been cheap. * If
the house does not show well and needs a lot of work, that price isn't
totally out of wack. *On the other hand, property taxes of $11K are
very high for upstate NY and would be a key factor limiting the sale.
Similar size houses in lots of places in upstate NY have property
taxes half that or less. *Without actually seeing it and knowing the
situation of the town it's located in, it's impossible to reach any
conclusions.

Any house 160 years old is a money sink unless you can do all the
repairs/upkeep yourself. It's bad enough with a 60 year-old house!!!
