House Review - 16120 Harrow Ave N Hugo

Just listed for $625,000, actually $620k and then increased right away to $625k.  Large house on 5 acres in the rural part of Eastern Hugo. 

Pros:  5 acre lot on Oneka Lake, which is a natural environment lake classification from the DNR.  A lot of flat, usable land on the lot.  Large, heated pole barn with concrete pad.  A lot of space, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and over 4700 finished square feet on two levels.   There is a great, large deck on the second level of the home that has views of the lake. 

Cons:  The house is large, but lacks the detailed finishing that one might expect at this price point.  Very clean and well maintained but the level of finish is very basic.  The floor plan is a little awkward and does have a warm inviting feel.  The upper level kitchen is in the front of the house, cut off from the views of the lake and the backyard which is the strength of the house.  However, the house is a good distance away from the lake so the views of the lake are somewhat distant and it doesn't feel like a lake home, more like a home with a lake lot.  Definitely for the unique buyer with the full kitchen and two bedrooms and living area downstairs.  

Overall:  It has a lot of space and it's a good lot on Oneka Lake.  The lot doesn't have a ton of charm but is very usable depending on the buyers needs.  Its not the best set up for horses being only 5 acres but the lot is super flat and all the land is usable so it could work.  I didn't get inside the pole barn so I am not sure about the set up inside.  The level of finish on the interior of the house  is going to be a tough sell at this price point.  A lot of space and if it fits the multi-generational buyer that wants to live together maybe it makes sense, otherwise I think the price is expensive for what you get here.
