Now the pad had its perks, walking distance to downtown, close proximity to two major highways, and acceptable commute times. The pad also had glaring disadvantages, one deeded parking spot, 714 square feet, one bathroom with pink tiles from the 1970s, and cave-like lighting.
We made the decision to start looking for a non-bachelor pad with two deeded parking spots, more square feet, two bathrooms, and more natural lighting.
Living in the suburbs of Boston and attempting to find a decent home under $600,000 is quite a daunting task. Eventually after a year and a half and 8 towns later, we found a townhouse condo in the town we were living in.
We went to the listing and realized if we purchased this condo, it would require several major upgrades namely the kitchen, two bathrooms, paint job on two floors, shaved ceilings, and new recessed LED lighting throughout.
We purchased the condo and waited few years so as to have enough equity for the cost. We received 3 quotes and they were all about the same time and cost.
Here is the kitchen before the remodel...
and here is the kitchen after...
The kitchen now is far more functional with more counter space and the hood vent expels fumes outside.
