Hello all, just yesterday I went to a showing of a house in the town that I currently reside. It's a foreclosed, 100+ year old home that is currently listed at $49,900. It needs some new flooring, and insulation, but the basic structure appears to be good to me, mainly cosmetics. It's described on the listing sheet as "farm house" style of building, and I do like the layout of the house. It's approx. 850 sq. ft., which is more than enough room for myself. It's on about a third of an acre per the tax records, but they only say less than a quarter acre on the listing sheet, so i'm not real sure about the actual lot size, but it looks like a nice sized lot. Lots of room for a garden and a few dwarf fruit trees and some grape vines, and who knows what else. OK, now on to my actual question for this post: This house comes with one natural gas space heater for the entire house. If I were to take that heater out and replace it with a pellet/corn stove, would I see a substantial heat bill savings over the course of the year, and would one of these stoves provide sufficient heat for a house of this size? A little more about the house: It's in my home town as stated, which is a town of about 3,500 people. The property is located right next to the railroad that runs through town, but is very rarely used anymore. Do you think that poses any sort of issues that i'm over looking? Here's the link to the listing on realtor.com for those interested. http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1032462977?lnksrc=00045 Thank you for all replies and responses, and sorry about the length of this post.
Thanks again,
