Rare Two-Story in Old Turnagain
$165,500
2613 West 27th Ave.
In escrow, to close late June
People who grew up in Old Turnagain can wait years for a suitable home to
come on the market here. We are away from the bluff and its unstable soils, "pure
sand" came out of the excavation for the new entry, the owner says.
They did all the hard parts for this ugly duckling they purchased several
years ago. That's a new metal roof, with gutters, that you see above. They reworked the
front of the home, with new siding an arctic entry and generous entry closet. They
replaced the heating system. There's a new gas cook top.
The total investment in making this a sound home is $36,756, according to
the itemized list the sellers have furnished us.
Three large bedrooms fill the second floor of this classic floor plan. The
main living area consists of a generous kitchen and dining area and the living room with
its brick fireplace and slate hearth. Generous windows capture light into the living room
from the south.
There's a full basement under this home, with limitless possibilities. The
oversized garage contains a workshop, with a personnel door leading to the large 8500
square foot fenced yard.
This home is very livable just as it us, but don't be surprised if the
next owners continue the updating and remodeling process these owners started. They regret
being called out of town before completing their plans, but have priced the home to allow
plenty of financial room for a further economic investment in the property.
