Opinions on South Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor Area...I think we found our house!!!
We went house hunting in South Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor yesterday and we found a house we really liked. Believe me, it needs work. A good $30000 to make it work for us. It's a small property with the back yard overlooking the water. You walk in, and you are looking at the dining room, the living room is to the left, and the bathroom is off to the side of the LR (Which DH hates, but could deal with it if the price was right).
The kitchen is in front of the LR. Then the utility room is a step down from the kitchen with a washer and dryer. There is a staircase in the center of the floor and a large BR next to it. Upstairs, are two huge, and I mean HUGE bedrooms because the dormers were raised. They have to me about 15x20 each. They are identical and they are really nice. No basement, no attic.
We would need to knock down the garage, get new appliances, redo the deck, carpets, bathroom, kitchen and utility room plus sanding and repainting beacsue you can still see the tape on the walls. Overall, it's a really cute house that when we walked in, we were like, 'IT DEFINATELY HAS POTENTIAL...' where as the other houses we saw we said absolutely NOT! There was also a really nice house in Island park, very well kept, but 2 bedrooms and small. Taxes were lower, but the rooms in Baldwin are HUGE. I had never considered Baldwin until the real estate mentioned it, so I would really like some opinions. Attached is a pic. I am also wondering it it's worth putting all that money in to...
