Retro kitchen at 709 Cortlandt Dr

This is about the location of this home. Remember the adage in real estate: location, location, location. Drive the neighborhood. This home is worth every penny of $399,000. It features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and has a family room, which was probably once converted from a breezeway but seems to be included in the square footage.

Living room needs new flooring, paint and windows.

The kitchen is retro, a mess and should be demolished. The water heat was installed in 1994 and is gas, but the range is electric. There is also the back side of the fireplace in the kitchen, which could used as be a pizza oven, maybe. The full bath is beautiful pink and black retro tile, but it might not be to your taste. All the floors need to be replaced. Even the wood floor in the third bedroom might not be salvageable. The heating and AC might need work.

The sellers prefer to sell this home in its AS IS condition, and have priced it accordingly. If you’re hoping to lowball, this is probably not the property for you. But if you see its value, appreciate the bones of the structure, you might find this is the perfect home for you. You may notice hundreds of carpet beetles clinging to the ceiling, but no worries, the dermestidae appear to be dead. Still, you’ll probably want to obtain a pest report.
