…if all goes well I’ll make an offer on this house, which is located here. It’s tiny, has really (really) serious leak issues in the basement, and needs a major renovation in the interior (2 rooms with ceiling to floor mirrors and another with one of those giant wall murals of a deer in the forest. mkay, to each their own, it’s not me though), but it’s what I can afford and it hits on a lot of my wants in a house, namely water access (it has deeded beach rights on the Hudson), property coupled with some sense of privacy (it’s on a little over an acre and a few plantings and I should have a completely private back yard), and it has potential in terms of ways I can work on it to increase the property value. Things I might do include: tearing out the ceiling on the kitchen/living room side of the house to give it cathedral ceilings, then stick in a few skylights; put in a pool and hot tub in the back yard, excavate to fix the basement leak issues, then finish one half of it to make an ultimate home theater room, fix the bathroom (to each their own and all, but wall to wall shag carpeting in the bathroom?), and put a gas stove in and convert the fireplace to one of those gas log deals. And that’s just to start. Anyway wish me luck, if all goes well I could be living in the place by June or even the end of May.
