Is there some kind of profit in it , ya think?
Like we all said above you can rent it out, with a few bucks maybe improve on it and resell.
Keep the wife happy man. But do not let a bargain pass you by.
I mean it is ok if ya do not live there.
If you do wish to live there, and she is still irked, then that is kinda personal. You can give her Email address on 4chan, maybe let those jerks convince her, or just bite the darn bullet, and maybe make what ya can out of it.
If all else fails tell her you are He-man, then roar, then slug her in the nose, and grunt and nod happily . (1950s solution)
