As it notes, the 1.5 acres property (with an additional two acres available for purchase) "gently slopes to Beaver Creek, where you can enjoy fly fishing or hiking through the wooded 30-acre Kennedy Park.
"Beautiful views of FoxCreek Golf add to its awesome location, about a mile from the shores of Lake Erie.
"Set back off the road, an inviting herringbone brick walkway and circular drive bring you across a mill stone threshold, where you step into the fairytale tower and first floor living room, with gas fireplace and full bath.
“Floor 2 houses a huge kitchen with custom cabinets, porcelain floors, tile counters, stainless appliances, and glass table looking down into the first floor. The second floor also offers a half bath, laundry, and French doors to balcony.
“Floor 3 is master bedroom and bath, with outdoor deck encircling entire windmill.

“Floor 4 is a second bedroom with full bath and French doors to balcony. Floor 5 is a third bedroom or bonus room, with French doors to balcony. The attic is the roof, designed to rotate to keep the blades facing into the wind.
The windmill's conversion to a home began in 2005, as seen on You Live in What? in 2015” (below).

That's a tidy sum of cash for a house that is "as is".I don't care how hot the market is and/or how unique the property is.If people used common sense the market would cool down and real world prices would come back to normal.By the time the new owner pumps out $280,000.00 for the Windmill and does a 30 year mortgage they'll have over $450,000.00 in it.That's along with another $50,000-$90,000 to finish the house.That's over a half a million dollars people!Buyers all over the country are starting to have "buyers remorse" after the dream house they just bought turned out to be a money pit.But this house will sell.Just not to me.
This home was featured nationally on Fox Business News a couple days ago...
