November through January is an important series of holidays for people from all walks of life. Collectively, we call this period "The Holidays" with most people are overbooked and overwhelmed with obligations; many using this time as a catchall excuse for being too busy to do anything. This is also a time many consumers (and some real estate agents) will argue is a "bad time" to put a home on the market for sale.
Hello friend, welcome to Tuesday Tours. 758 Northeast Harbor Drive is a little different from what your friends are accustomed to seeing on Tuesday Tours. Depending on how you like to sharpen your pencil, people might refer to this home as a fixer-upper, an opportunity, or a land value proposition.
This home’s Living Room isn’t particularly spectacular, but the view definitely is! The entire house is open to a water-front intercostal view on a very wide portion of the canal and lake. We have 2,500 SqFt of open floor planning under AC, which many people might find appealing, and a lot that is 105 deep by 85 Ft of water frontage.
One of the things that stop buyers from doing a renovation project is often that the house’s structural components aren’t conclusive to a nice current lifestyle. The kitchen cabinets are completely dated and are from the late 80s, but are fully serviceable. Likewise, for the appliance package, nobody’s doing black today but they are in great condition. More importantly, if someone were to renovate, we have a huge open window looking right at the intercostal, and the kitchen is enough for today’s buyers and is an open format.
The Living Room Area is enormous even by today’s standards. It has this really creative cottage effect ceiling with wooden beams, a fireplace, and large format windows that stretch across to the kitchen, dining, and family rooms and are open to the intercostal and an outstanding view.
If you are thinking of a renovation project, this house’s Master Suite is large enough to be favored by today’s buyers. It has a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bath.
For anyone conceding a land value proposition, this house is exceptional. We have 85Ft of waterfront, a 105Ft locked up. On this street, if you were to buy new, something comparable would cost about $5Million. Buying this house for just over $2Million and building your dream home will make you come out equity positive from day one.
