Looking for a new house and found this one but oh the selective photography. Wow! Damn train right out front

The description detail says central cooling. I would think that might get expensive in the summer in that type/age house. . Heating is shown as "Other". Thanks.

+1 to this. I lived right near very busy tracks for 7 years. When I first moved in it sounded like the train was coming through my living room. There were multiple crossings right at my area so many horn blasts. After a little while I honestly didn’t even notice it anymore.

Same here.

That’s funny right there. The street view shows a CSX train parked on the tracks right in front Of the house.

The locomotives aren't CSX. Further east is a large GATX railcar storage and repair facility. I suspect this line is designated for long term storage. The locomotives are owned by LTEX and NREX which are both leasing companies and class 1s aren't leasing 50yr old engines right now. Haven't since 2017. I stand by what I said. Worst case you see a train once a day. More likely once a month.

In addition, go to the manor Millwood crossing. There are literally sections of rail missing.

I really wonder if that price drop is some kind of insider deal. It started at 225 which seems a lot more realistic in this market, even with the train.

It does look like a great house though, and at that price you could afford major repairs.

The market for houses is crashing fast. The advertising doesn’t tell you that, but it is.

They’re going on strike anyway!

Congress won't let us. Railway Labor Act neuters the heck out of the unions.

That area must be a ****hole, railroad tracks or not. $89g for 14 acres with a livable 3k+ sq ft house?

10-4 Twitch….. wasn’t debating your point of view, I just thought it was ironic coincidence that a train would be parked there when the street view car drove by.

Weird the Zillow shows “Off the Market” while Realtor.com says “Pending”

It might be a private seller. I showed my wife it and she liked it. I do too. Population 900 plus

If you look it up on google earth, looks like last time there was a train on that track was around 2008 !
