St. John’s for the win again!

By Living Room Realty, February 6, 2018

 

Andrew and Katie started their home search resigned to probably having to live east of 82nd.  They wanted to find a house with enough bedrooms to be able to take their roommates with them, although it didn’t really matter what style of house.  We started looking at fixers but they quickly realized that they don’t the time to dedicate to home projects.  It wasn’t long before this little bungalow in St. John’s came back on the market.  Besides location, what drew them to this house was the the beautiful natural woodwork throughout.  Someone had taken the time to strip down all the wood and restore it to it’s original state.

The listing agent explained what had killed the previous deal.  The roof was at the end of it’s life, there was some funky electrical in the attic, and it needed a sewer.  Nothing that can’t be fixed but it was enough to spook the first buyer.  We got all of our bids and negotiated all three repairs and they felt confident moving forward.

These two were the sweetest couple and working with them felt like hanging out with new friends.  I’m so glad they were able to land in St. John’s, close to everything and all of their friends.  Congrats, you guys!!
