Fixer Upper Friday: 2 BR/1 BA in Laburnum Court Converts to 3 BR/1.5 BA

Via Streeteasy /  

This week's fixer upper special is a rare 2 BR/1 BA in Laburnum Court—rare in that it could easily convert to a spacious 3 BR/1.5 BA. Homes with three bedrooms and more than one bath are in high demand among families in this neighborhood and can go for upwards of $1 million. This home is listed at $735k, so at the very least there is about $265k of instant equity on the line—and that will pay for a nice renovation, indeed. Let's take a look. [Update: price cut to $690k and even I am tempted.]

Fixer Upper Friday: Open Up This 2 BR in The Versailles

Via Streeteasy  /

This week's Fixer Upper special is a 2BR in The Versailles, which is located across the street from Traver's Park (and the Sunday green market) in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of NYC. The exciting aspect about this handyman special is all that wasted space in the original floor plan—and the asking price a $485k, which is low for a two bedroom in this neighborhood. This home has "good bones" as they like to say in the home shows, with wide rooms, high ceilings, and original hardwood floors that look to be in excellent condition. Let's take a look.
