Lancaster House Bargain

Update: November 2013. This house sold for $304,000. Congratulations to the new buyer/neighbor on an absolute steal.


If you are shopping for a home in the Lancaster NY area and are in the $300k – $350k price range, have I got a deal for you…

This is a neighbor of mine and the house is priced well below market value.  The home has many upgrades and custom styling.  It backs up to a large retention pond that is perfect for a canoe or pedal boat.  The home offers a large stamped concrete patio, water feature and pergola in the back yard.

Almost 2,900 square feet, 4BR with 2 full and 2 half baths, and with a beautifully finished basement.  Did I mention the wonderful neighbors?

Take a look if this is the price range that you are in.  To duplicate this home as a new build would easily exceed $400,000 and that wouldn’t even include the landscaping, finished basement, or concrete patio.

Squirrel!! There are Squirrels in the House

Squirrel!! squirrel Doug

We all remember the line from the movie “UP!”.  Ben, the dog, would see a squirrel and become alert.  I had the same experience yesterday while looking at a possible renovation / rehab project in the Village of Lancaster, NY.

I was sitting in front of the home taking a look from my vehicle when a small squirrel appeared in the window.  At first, I thought that it was on the outer sill.  As it turns out, it was inside the house having its way with the interior.  I decided to talk a walk around the property while waiting for the person who would be showing me the property and as I reached the back, I noticed a larger squirrel in the rear window.  I was able to take a picture of this squirrel (see the photo below) and couldn’t help but laugh when he noticed me, become startled and then tore half of the window curtain down while trying to climb away.

We did end up going into the house to have a look and we decided it would be best if we carried a snow brush with us.  We all know how much squirrels hate snow brushes.  Luckily, there was no incident inside.  Turns out, squirrels are pretty non-confrontational and I was able to view the property without trouble (I had my brush in hand, mind you).  I don’t recall much about the property since I was pre-occupied with my squirrel avoidance and preparedness to strike plans.

I get to chalk up another first in my search for properties to renovate.  Vermin ?[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Lancaster Bargain at $287k

You won’t often hear me talking about a “bargain” at $287,000, but the square footage and location of this home justify that label.

This house is located in a  cul-de-sac in the Windsor Ridge subdivision, was built in 1995, and has more than 3,000 square feet.  To build a comparable home in Windsor Ridge would likely cost you more than $370,000.  There are many negatives to buying a home that is 15 years old, but the positives probably outweight those factors. The primary thing that I would tell anyone purchasing this home is to set aside 10k for repairs in the next 2-3 years.  You never know when the furnace, A/C, or hot water tank will decide to fail.

One MAJOR big ticket item that was already completed is the roof.  After 15 years a roof is nearing the end of its useful life.  This item is already taken care of.

  • Concrete driveway
  • Attached deck
  • Rear awning
  • Cul-de-sac location
  • Glamour bath
