Back when it was first built, I imagine someone once loved this ranch home very much. At that time, at least 50+ years ago, I would think that the owners must have been very proud to call this house their home! A young couple just starting their family may have built it. A retiring couple moving into a one level house in this small rural village could have possibly built it. Like they say if only walls could talk, what stories they would tell. Questions came to my mind, like how many times did it changes hands, and were the life's there happy or sad? Why did it become so neglected?
Today this house is a very lonely & a very sick place. It made me 
enormously concerned for my health or anyone else's who would enter. My visit there was simply to evaluate its worth. Unfortunately, my diagnosis for this home is it has regrettably no remaining value at all. It's used up, demolish and tear it down; it is too terminal to permit a sale to another.
So...Dear house you have to go, you are too far beyond repair. You are as derelict and dilapidated as a home can be. There is mold growing on every wall, which has been nourished from the basement floodwaters left unchecked since last August. Beware; the basement now resembles a polluted, icy, frozen skating pond. Yikes... Who knows how deep the water beneath the ice might be. It's an easy bet that all the plumbing pipes, the furnace and the fixtures are destroyed! Dear house, I am sorry there is no other answer, I believe you have to go.
