cant really tell from small interweb pics, but based off of the front yards/appearance of front, number 2 looks good.

but then agian it could be that number 1 has a bad photo

 

2nd one just looks newer

 

numero dos

 

#2.

- Better curb appeal
- #1 has a horrid kitchen and the carpet looks filthy

With #2, I'd tear out every square inch of flooring and lay laminate wood. The kitchen floor looks terrible. Also, it needs repaint.

 

kitchens with wide open areas like that w/o an island bug me

 

#2 no question

I'd go for #2

More cub appeal.

Smaller yard = less yardwork

Front porch, back porch

Nearby Park

Cul-de-sac street, cuts down on thru traffic

City Sewer, city water.

House #2 looks like it would take much less work to tailor it to your tastes.

While house #1 has more property, it looks like it would need much more work. Carpet has to go, walls need to be painted. The realtor uses more creative wording like "outbuilding" to describe a storage shed, which just turns me off.

What also turns me off about property 1 is the septic tank and well water. Both of these require more maintenance than a city water & sewer hook-up. Rupture a septic tank and you got an expensive mess on your hands. Well water needs to be filtered and sometimes tastes funky. Also, if you have a power black out, your well pump won't run = no running water.

 

Well #2 looks better, but #1 has more property, more sq ft, and if it comes furnished that is a big plus.

 

well water > *

we dont filter our well water, its not that often you actually have to and it tastes a million times better than city water without all the added elements
