 Much work has been done in the past month, and I have to say, I love it.  It is ready for occupancy, just waiting for a few mirrors to arrive.  Everything has been stripped and repainted, respackled, new tiles and marble and granite, new bathroom fixtures, new toilets and tub, new kitchen.. and the look is lighter, brighter and cozy.

  As you probably know, the housing market has been horrendous for years just about everywhere in the US.  Since we’re in the home building industry, we’ve definitely seen lean times. M decided to branch out a little into something that will  bring some money in and pay for itself as an investment.   This condo was purchased for a song compared to it’s market value five years ago…  a real bummer for the people who owned it, but a great deal in this buyers market.  First it will be gutted, as the kitchen and bathrooms are about 30 years old and in need of updates. The tile floor are filthy too and the basement is downright dank. There are two rooms, living room and kitchen, on the first floor with bathroom inbetween – a basement laundry room, and two bedrooms with bathroom upstairs. Lots of natural light in this unit, which I think makes a big difference.

  The location of this condo complex is wonderful- right across the street from a harbor that leads into Long Island Sound. It’s also a very safe walking and biking neighborhood, with a tennis court and swimming pool.
