Somewhat colonial to me. Probably the elevated structure is to avoid possible flooding?

Yea I'm sure. It's only 5ft above sea level. 1% annual chance of flooding. 19% 30 year probability.

My current fridge has a shim, simply because I've been to lazy to lie on the floor to adjust the foot. It was way easier to lean into the fridge and kick the wedge under it

I do that too unfortunately. I still haven't learned to account for the blade width and always forget where I need to cut along the laser line. My only advice here is to make sure the first cut is on the long side

Not everywhere is priced like Seattle or Los Angeles.
OTOH the poverty rate for that little town looks like it runs 25%, apparently those jobs don't pay diddly.

Attention all you folks who keep insisting that working people can't buy a house.

If you could get financing; I'm not sure what the flood insurance would be living there. I spend a fair amount of time in that part of NC. They get hit hard by hurricanes.
