[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually went to an open house at this home.  It is actually pretty private and on the very end of the street.  It's a very roomy home.  What turned us off at the time was the price for the amount of work we would have had to do.  I did not like the kitchen at all and would have had to put all hardwoods upstairs.  Most of the acreage is in the front of the house.  While the back yard is quiet and peaceful, there was not space for us to have put a pool in later on if we wanted to.  There was a nice big pond, but it needed a lot of work and we did not want to have to deal with the upkeep.

We ended up buying a home close in price to this one, but with all the acreage in the back of the house.  It is also move in ready and it is a much newer home. [/quote]
Thanks for your input.  Are you happy with the area in general? 
I noticed many of these properties do have wells/septic.  Anyone know the reason for this?[/quote]

We like the area a lot, but ended up moving to Darnestown.  Got a newer house for about the same price.  If you are a city person, the area is definitley not ideal.  However, we like a more rural setting.  We have found we don't spend much time in the city.  When we do go out and do things we like to go to different parks, go hiking and do more outdoors types of things.  We like that the city is not far, but that we can still have space and a peaceful, calm home to return to.  Our home also has well and septic.  I thought it was a deal breaker at first, but it's really not that big of a deal.  We are putting a UV light on our water system for peace of mind and the septic you only have to have pumped every two to three years.  As far as having to be careful what you put down the toilet and sink....half of thebstuff we put down our systems probably should not be put down there anyway!  I think it also depends on how old your house is.  The older the house, the older the system...unless of course they had it replaced.  I have heard newer systems are much better with handling things like a garbage disposal.  Best thing to do is research it and educate yourself on it.  So while it does require some work, it's not a daily thing.  Plus, you don't have to deal with a water bill anymore!!!!!
