Let’s take a look at two interesting open houses this weekend in the neighborhood. Both have two bedrooms and one bathroom--but beyond that, there's a world of difference. So what are the differences, and what do you think of them?
There are a few fascinating wee houses in Windsor Terrace, and the one at 30 East 3rd is up for sale, listed for $550,000 by Weichert.
It needs some serious updating and it's only semi-detached, but you get your own little home for the price of an apartment, complete with a big backyard.
OPEN HOUSE:
30 East 3rd Street
Sunday, October 9, 1 to 2:30pm
If the prospect of renovation isn't ideal, apartment 4H at 71 Ocean Parkway is move-in ready, with a recently-updated kitchen and bathroom.
The co-op is listed at $459,000 by Real Direct. It costs less upfront than the house, but there is a maintenance fee of $724/month, and the eventual return on investment might not be as high.
OPEN HOUSE:
71 Ocean Parkway, #4H
Sunday, October 9, 3 to 5pm
