I am still a few years away from retirement... but we are starting to plan.
Point #1 is get the heck out of the city.
#2 Is find a home we can buy for cash.
#3 Is it must be single level so we can spend our years not climbing stairs.
#4 Is (my criteria) MUST be low maintenance.
#5 Has no carpets... but that is an easy fix before we moved in so not a deal breaker.
So wife send me this:
5321 Greenwood Hts, Eureka, CA 95501 | Zillow
Great location, a little more $$ that I wanted to spend, I could build a ramp up those front steps... but all that wood! Don't want to spend my golden year sanding and varnishing!
I know paint/varnish tech has come a long way, but for low maintenance should I stay away from a cabin like this? (love the look and feel... and location of this place otherwise)
PS: This place will be long gone by the time we decide to move so this is just a rhetorical question.
