The deals are back...

The long hiatus in UnReal Deals postings hasn't been for want of great deals, but rather because I've been too busy selling them to write about them.  I've had two properties that I've been starting to write up, only to get an offer before I could get to that point.

Today's UnReal Deal is one that I'm itching to buy myself.  If it was about 10 miles farther north, closer to my office and my kids school, I'd have my current home on the market today.

Here's the rundown:  Located near Bear Lake, 2210 square feet, Chalet style with a huge loft (like 700 square feet!) and a wall of windows looking out toward orchards to the north.  Hilltop setting, but not too high, 2 bedrooms on the main level, main floor laundry and a beautiful bathroom with jacuzzi tub and walk in shower, finished in tile.

Walkout basement also has an egress window opposite the walkout, making it prime for finishing.  Two car attached garage, deck of the back, river rock (cultured stone I believe) chimney, vinyl siding.

Built about 2006, appears to have been hardly lived in, some trim was left unfinished, but the bank that now owns it attended to much of that, plus installed carpet where it was missing, finished grout and tile work in the bathroom, and installed a range.

It's on 7.57 acres, mostly older orchard, very attractive (especially when the blossoms come out in spring.)  And the bonus?  At the rear of the property, set away from the house, is a 40 x 100 pole barn.  That's 4000 square feet of open space for whatever toys you fancy.

I thought it was a good deal at $189k.  A great deal at $164,900.  Seller just dropped the price to $159,800- an UnReal Deal!
