Disclosures and F.A.Q. |
Why are you
selling this home?
I love this home and had planned to live here for the
rest of my life! Fate took a twist and I met and married
an American girl. Her work and home are state-side and
the distance between our two homes prohibits us from
keeping both. I'd love to keep Montrose as our
recreation home, but I hate to see it sit empty for most
of the year. This house should be enjoyed and lived in!
Are there any defects in the house that you
are aware of?
This home has no major defects that I am aware of. It
has several minor flaws that I had estimated
for upgrading before deciding to sell. They are:
1.) Exterior stucco needs very minor repair and paint.
This is a cosmetic problem, not a structural one.
Estimates that I received for materials and labor ranged
from $2,000-3,500 (Canadian).
2.) Window frames: the window frames
are dated. Again, this is a cosmetic problem, not a
structural problem. If I were keeping the home, I
would have these replaced. Estimates that I received
averaged $ 5,000 (Canadian) to completely replace all
windows and frames.
3.) Roof: the cedar shakes look
"rough" (Weather takes it's toll on the appearance of
wood), but the roof has always been 100% sound. (An
inspection of the attic storage area reveals a perfectly
dry roof with no hint of water. This is easy even for
the casual observer to see). The current roof is
expected to last for many more years. Replacement would
be a cosmetic decision only.
4.) Kitchen: the cabinets are quite
sturdy and many people enjoy the "retro" look. For a
more modern appearance, new wood facing could be applied
and the kitchen would have a totally updated flavor.
This could easily be accomplished for $250 Canadian. The
kitchen also needs new linoleum, but since it is an
"efficiency" size, this could be done in a weekend for
under $200. I would use the self-stick "squares" and do
it myself if I were keeping the house. |
