Fixer Upper on Orchard Mesa

Situated on almost a 1/2 acre, this Orchard Mesa home was built in 1932, has three bedrooms and one bathroom. There is a 20 x 20 detached garage located just south of the house. A 864 square foot basement is partially finished with two rooms that were used as non conforming bedrooms a few years ago and a larger common room. The original coal furnace is located in the basement and has been converted to use natural gas. The electric water heater is also in the basement. There is a separate entrance to the basement from the northeast corner of the house.

This home has a park like yard with mature landscaping, huge trees and plenty of room to roam. The irrigation is through Orchard Mesa Irrigation District, but the irrigation pump is not included in the sale of this property.

There is a small storage shed in the corner of the back yard that is included in this sale, and a decorative patio provides a nice place to sit on cool evenings. The property currently backs up to a vacant lot, but a subdivision is in the final planning process and will be built soon.

Due to the larger size of this lot, there is a great open area south of the house that would make a wonderful garden area, allow space for storage of vehicles, etc or maybe provide area for a new garage or other building.

There is an open well with a railroad post in the opening located on this section of the property. There is no information available for this well. No history is known by the sellers.

This home has some deferred maintenance, but is in a nice area of Orchard Mesa and could make a great rental or starter home. Due to it's current condition, this home will not qualify for a FHA loan and there is an estimated $15, 000 to $20,000 worth of repair needed to the basement walls. The cracking and separating damage is old; from a cottonwood tree that was removed years ago and also a flooding problem from the once agricultural field east of the property. This home is loaded with potential and charm. The list price is $135,000.00
