The Great Room....

The Great Room consists of the kitchen area to the left, in the center the main living room area with fireplace, and to the right a corner alcove area that looks like it might have been a closet at one time with the wall and door removed to increase floor space.  It's possible it was always open like that but at this point it's hard to know for sure.
The carpeting in this room and throughout the entire house is just plain FILTHY and would have to be removed in favor of something....anything....better!
It's got a great view out the back windows towards the canal leading to the lake.
In spite of the view, there are problems.  

The ceiling here and in some of the bedrooms show significant water damage bringing into question the condition of the exterior roof.  There's no telling if the roof was replaced and the water damaged sheetrock was never repaired or if the current roof is the culprit.  That also raises the specter of a mold problem as well.   Ain't nothing a cake walk!
There also appears to be a problem with the ceiling joist over the fireplace.  Looks cracked to me.  Not a pretty situation at all.  

With all the problems I was noting I told the Steve the Realtor there was no way this was going to be a $39.9k house.
