The shop seems functional. Too bad the occupant is so messy.
Overall, I say no way would I be happy there. The question is would I live there? No, not for long.

I'm in agreement. The total lack of character would kill it for me.
While functional, it's too functional and not enough aesthetics. Could I live there? Yes. On a piece of paper, it's got everything you need. But that interior is, well, not the type of place I'd dream about living in. That raw 2x4 bannister is just too janky for me.
I took the question to be about the type of building/land, and not necessarily the exact location. i.e. if you you picked that property up and dropped it off somewhere else reasonable--you can't just drop it off in the middle of Manhattan, for example.
But considering the geographic area: Watkins Glen is close by--maybe an hour? The Finger Lakes are beautiful during the summer. I went to college in the area. Yeah, the winters can be a rough 4 months. They're more fun when you're a student and don't have to worry about a commute or shoveling snow.
