Maybe you could have your house moved somewhere more desirable? Might be worth it.
True, but I do often wonder why someone with $1-2 mill to spend on a house in such a great area can't afford to knock such a turd in the head and build new. That heap could be built new (construction costs only) here for $150k or so. So while it would still be a turd at least it would be a new turd

Yes I realize construction costs are more there but materials are commodities to a degree.
