Three programs on Southeast Community College’s Milford Campus have once again partnered to build a maintenance-free house, this time containing 1,566 square feet of living space.
It is the 96th house built by programs on SCC’s Milford Campus, dating back to 1961. The home is located on the building site, just southwest of the Eicher Technical Center, and will be auctioned at 2 p.m. Dec. 15 on location. Visitors may inspect the house from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays leading up to the auction.
Students in Building Construction Technology, Electrical & Electromechanical Technology, and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Technology built the ranch-style house from the ground up.
The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, large utility room, and kitchen. There is oak trim throughout the house, and all walls are eight feet high. Andersen double-glazed windows are utilized throughout the home. The front and side entry doors are insulated steel. The patio door is Andersen, and the home will feature kitchen and bathroom countertops of Wilsonart.
Since the buyer will move the house to a permanent location, basement plumbing, floor coverings, staining and painting will be provided by the new owner. The owner also is responsible for insuring the house immediately upon purchase.
Terms of the sale are cash, 25 percent due the day of the sale, with the balance due within 15 days. The sale price is subject to a 6.5-percent sales tax. The house must be moved from the SCC Milford Campus by March 23, 2012, unless other arrangements are made.
Persons wanting more information about the house are asked to contact Ron Petsch, Building Construction Technology program chair, at (402) 761-8213 or at [email protected].
Lance Larsen, a Cordova auctioneer with Lance Larsen & Associates, will carry on the family tradition and auction the house. The Larsens have auctioned off the houses since the program began in 1961. And every year since 1979, the auctioneer has donated his fees to the SCC Foundation.
