Intrigued by the South Union neighborhood where the team from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and HHN Homes is making a valiant effort to build a 4,500-sq.-ft. home for the Johnson family — in less than a week? Maybe you’re wondering what the rest of the area is like? Well, the home right next door, at 3609 Goodhope St., is for sale! Asking price: $40,000. Don’t worry: It won’t be the fanciest home in the neighborhood.

The listing, which appears to subscribe to the tiny photos school of real-estate photography, says the 1,578-sq.-ft. house has 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. It was built in 1950. We’ve enlarged the pics a bit so you can look around:
This home’s been on the market for almost 3 weeks.

Don’t knock it, for some folks this would really be a step up. I’ve seen far worse.
I hear the Extreme folks want to buy this and turn it into a park, I agree w/ cm=Corey, this would make a great home for someone and it would be a shame to see it leveled.
