Although obviously I haven't been THROUGH it. But let me repeat--ASBESTOS SIDING=NO PROBLEM as long as you don't DRILL it. If you want to change the outside of the house, you simply wrap over it and re-side. And if you don't like the interior colors, well, that's what PAINT is for.

OTOH, $629,000 is a ridiculous price for a house that size. BUT, I live in Columbus, OH. So I have no means of comparison.
