FLOOD ZONE = flood insurance!
#2 - Central Ave in Baldwin
Cape built in 1888, basement with low ceiling; 5 rooms, 2 beds (one "very tiny"), 2 baths,
1 1/2 detached garage. Being sold "as is", and any FHA repairs would have to be
made by buyer; catch 22: bank will require repairs done to close, buyer takes a risk fixing it and
if deal doesn't close, buyer is out the $$. (If mention of this is made, chances are there are things
that require fixing.)
#3 - Rockwood in Baldwin
Short sale; price not yet approved by lender. Listed as Bungalow built in 1924; 7 rooms, 3 beds, 2 baths, 1 detached garage
Occupied by tenants and difficult to show; must do drive-by first.
#4 - Centennial in Baldwin
Built in 1943; 6 rooms, 2 beds, 1 bath; 1 attached garage. Tiny, outdated kitchen. Difficult to see size/condition
of other rooms.
#5 - Eastern Pkwy, Baldwin
Colonial built in 1935, basement with "elevated storage only" (water!!); 7 rooms, 3 beds, 1 bath.
No garage. FLOOD ZONE = flood insurance! Master bedroom is on 2nd floor, no bathroom. Has
been on the market for 5 months.
#6 - Park Ave, Baldwin
Listed as Bungalow built in 1920, 6 rooms, 3 beds, 2 baths.
above ground pool without CO; looks like only 1 bath may have a CO
Why am I mentioning the years the homes were built? Bungalows used to be "Summer homes". Houses built that long ago are often poorly insulated, unless some owners have done substantial work to improve that = higher heating and cooling costs.
Hope this helps.
