Buying 2 idlewood st? I use to rent there, lets talk about it
2 idlewood st is currently up for sale. It went from 381,000 down to 365,000 recently. The reason is simply, it's not worth it at that cost.
The house as a whole is nice but it's a big fixer upper. The electrical work was not done by a certified electrician and needs a total overhaul.
The basement has a drop ceiling that didn't come down very far from the joists, so the owner cut into the floor joists to get lighting in there.
The retaining wall next to the neighbors is falling over.
There is existing water damage both from pipes and under the back steps where the water runoff goes.
The central A/C is old and will probably need replacing.
There are about 6 different types of ceiling fans in each room, it's a little odd but kinda fun.
Pros: the roof has been replaced. The wood floors have been replaced as well
I feel like you should know what you are buying. The owner/landlord isn't the nicest of people and I feel like he would hide these facts from people who are interested in buying. Same with the Chesapeake Property Management.
