The Little House on Lighthouse Lane
When looking for our next home, I was getting discouraged easily. The market here is very strong. Every house we wrote an offer on either went under contract as we were looking at it or it had multiple offers. When I look for real estate to purchase I always look for something that is priced below the market and something that needs a little DIY. I am not afraid of a little work or a lot for that matter.
The listing for this house was priced pretty well for the information given. 3 bedroom 2 bath with 1600 sqft up and another 1600 sqft unfinished in the basement. Which equals about 3200 sqft total. The home was built in 2004 and was actually in really good condition. The Kitchen had maple cabinets double ovens and all stainless appliances. It had tile throughout ( although not through all major traffic areas) it was pretty decent. Plus I can use my imagination and build anything I want in the basement.
After going under contract and getting our appraisal it came to our attention that the house was actually quite a bit bigger than was listed. 250 extra sqft up stairs and down stairs for a total square footage of 3700sqft. This equates to more instant equity when I moved in.
Here is a list of projects for The Lighthouse Lane house.
