Home Renovations

We saw a one bedroom condo in our development yesterday, amazing renovated kitchen, nice patio. Huge washer and dryer in what was the linen closet, and they alsoeliminate the bath tub and replaced it with a large stall shower.

I am not sure I could live with out the linen storage or the tub.

Apparently this person bought the apt 14 months ago for around 285,000, looks like she is living in it and now selling for mid 300,000.

I found the apt beautiful but not livable for us

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Each to their own, but for me, that's a lot of money for a one bedroom apartment with no bathtub and no linen closet...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

Seems pricey to me, but I guess it depends on your city, location, & the real estate market in your area.

it's commuting distance to NYC and people are fleeing the city,

prices in the tri-state are whole other thing

@I am still oxox I guess it depends on where you live....but I can't image ever paying that much for a ONE bedroom condo. I have a fairly new townhouse with 3 bedrooms...2 and 1/2 baths .....Probably more than I need... but the price was right and I have wonderful neighbors. The development has about 16 units. All the same size as mine. But maybe living in a fairly rural Pennsylvania community makes the difference as far as market price.

The development is just outside of the NYC line, Scarsdale area, our community is low priced compared to other around and we get a lot of perks, free gas and electricity, lots of open space with a beautiful lake front and a town pool around the corner with rates of $600 for the season much cheaper that other pools around. The town is really well run and people do not live, it is a wonderful place to raise kids.

I looked at a condo online last week and it's $235,000.00. 2 bathrooms with tub/shower combo.

I didn't see a designated linen closet. Washer/dryer are in what could be a good size closet. I guess they could be moved to the basement but I'm not trucking laundry up and down steps at my age.

My daughter said she looks at it as with closings costs you are upwards of a quarter of a mllion and that''s nuts for 1,300 sq.ft. with little light and an unfinished basement. How much to finish that?
