Speaker 1: with our featured listing. Now this this the house we're
0:58
Speaker 1: talking about this week. Great views. This is in Portage,
1:02
Speaker 1: that's been Columbia County, but it does as I look
1:05
Speaker 1: at the address thirty three twenty four West Edgewater Street,
1:11
Speaker 1: leads me to believe that there might be some water nearby.
1:14
Speaker 1: What is this What is this house all about? You
1:16
Speaker 1: would be correct, Yes, yes, Portage not.
1:20
Speaker 2: Very far from Addison. Really we all highway there. You're
1:23
Speaker 2: looking at a house that has awesome character, that's right
1:28
Speaker 2: across the street from the Wisconsin River, so you know
1:31
Speaker 2: you've got the river views out the front and then
1:35
Speaker 2: a beautiful, beautiful, nice backyard and awesome character. There's a
1:40
Speaker 2: little bungalow style look to it.
1:42
Speaker 1: I don't know that, and I because I'm biased, we
1:44
Speaker 1: talk about Rock and Dane County quite a bit. Columbia County,
1:48
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes and this is on me, and
1:50
Speaker 1: I apologize to all folks in Columbia County because it
1:54
Speaker 1: is gorgeous. It is a great area, and as you
1:56
Speaker 1: mentioned too, it's especially Portage itself, really convenient. If you
2:01
Speaker 1: work in Madison and you want to have that kind
2:04
Speaker 1: of that double life where you know, work in the city,
2:06
Speaker 1: maybe you're going to get lunch or dinner in this
2:07
Speaker 1: in the big city, and you want to get away
2:10
Speaker 1: to where there's trees in beautiful wildlife, nature and in
2:13
Speaker 1: this case, fantastic views of a fantastic river. You're just
2:17
Speaker 1: you know, that's how you spend your afternoons and weekends.
2:19
Speaker 1: How great is that? The best of both worlds? Yeah?
2:21
Speaker 2: No, I think it's a place that often gets overlooked.
2:27
Speaker 2: You just head up like you're going to the Dells
2:29
Speaker 2: and take a rate.
2:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly, And you're closer to the Dells as
2:33
Speaker 1: well if you're looking, ye looking to do some weekend
2:36
Speaker 1: water parking or doing some speaking of golf and or
2:38
Speaker 1: there's some great courses up in that area as well.
2:40
Speaker 1: So with this house in Portage, right at three twenty
2:43
Speaker 1: four West Edgewater Street, I see the word new a lot.
2:47
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new stuff in this house.
2:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a lot of updates. I mean beyond that,
2:54
Speaker 2: I mean it's a great price. Three hundred and ten
2:57
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for three bedroom, two and a half yeah,
3:00
Speaker 2: and over twenty three hundred square feet for three hundred
3:03
Speaker 2: and ten thousand. So you know, if if the Dan
3:06
Speaker 2: County prices seem to be a bit highly me. Just
3:09
Speaker 2: just head.
3:10
Speaker 1: Up and that reinforces something I know we brought up
3:12
Speaker 1: a couple of times on the program, but it's worth
3:14
Speaker 1: mentioning for folks that that may be thinking, you know,
3:18
Speaker 1: I want I want, maybe first time home buyers or
3:20
Speaker 1: people looking for that that move up property, sometimes just
3:23
Speaker 1: looking a little outside of the city. There is something
3:25
Speaker 1: available for everyone out there and every every price range,
3:29
Speaker 1: every style, every location. Sometimes you just got to you know,

3:36
Speaker 1: can't they Yeah, kind.

Speaker 1: say hello and very nice listening here. We'll talk a
4:08
Speaker 1: little bit more about this beautiful house a little bit
4:10
Speaker 1: later on the program, but as mentioned, we're talking about
4:12
Speaker 1: waterfront living specifically here in Dane County. And there is
4:16
Speaker 1: no shortage of shoreline in this in this area, is there,
4:19
Speaker 1: mat Yeah.
4:20
Speaker 2: Dane County is kind of known for its four major lakes.
4:23
Speaker 2: You've got Mendona, Minona, Albisa, and Kaganza, and there's some
4:28
Speaker 2: smaller other ones.
4:29
Speaker 1: Yes, there are. You ever look at the map, there's
4:31
Speaker 1: like that Hook Lake. It's just kind of south of here,
4:34
Speaker 1: and I always look at it because it looks like
4:36
Speaker 1: it's basically a giant island with a little lake around it.
4:40
Speaker 1: And I don't know, And if folks know, email me
4:42
Speaker 1: Sean at WIBA dot com. I've never been back there.
4:45
Speaker 1: I'd be curious about it. But with this, one of
4:47
Speaker 1: the great things about about Dane County's waterfronts is there's
4:51
Speaker 1: really something for everybody, isn't there. We kind of break
4:54
Speaker 1: down the different lakes. They all have their different their
4:57
Speaker 1: different highlights, don't they. Yeah, they do.
5:00
Speaker 2: You know, the largest lakes Lake Mendota, and as most
5:04
Speaker 2: everybody knows that got places like Maple Bluff and Short
5:07
Speaker 2: Hills on it. Uh, you know, awesome capital views. There's
5:11
Speaker 2: also Lake Mindona and that's also got the scenic capital
5:15
Speaker 2: views just from a different side.
5:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and I do love I do love
5:20
Speaker 1: them both. I've I've had friends over the years that
5:22
Speaker 1: have lived on each of them, and just I've always
5:24
Speaker 1: been very very jealous. And now it's really really great.
5:27
Speaker 1: And for folks I want to get a little bit
5:29
Speaker 1: of get a little bit away. Maybe you're into a
5:31
Speaker 1: little bit more recreation as far as fishing and other things.
5:34
Speaker 1: What Bisa is a phenomenal lake, as is Kaganza. Yeah.
5:37
Speaker 2: I'd say Webisa is a little more relaxed vibe, and
5:42
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, it's a it's great for fishing.
5:44
Speaker 1: From what I hear.
5:45
Speaker 2: I'm not in fishing myself, but you know a lot
5:47
Speaker 2: of people are. Yeah. It's in McFarland. It's got you know,
5:52
Speaker 2: Abisa Beach. There's also some kind of brand new condos
5:55
Speaker 2: over there that were that were built a number a
5:58
Speaker 2: few years ago. Here it's called w Visa Shores. And
6:01
Speaker 2: then Lake Kagan's a little further south in Stoughton, a
6:05
Speaker 2: little quieter, more rural and uh kind of mostly residential
6:09
Speaker 2: around that lake.
6:10
Speaker 1: I'm always shocked. So I drive home, Like my route home,
6:14
Speaker 1: I always go through Stoughton. I love Stote and I
6:16
Speaker 1: love everything about and one of the things I really
6:18
Speaker 1: enjoy is over here by the station. I don't even
6:21
Speaker 1: think of what highway that is. Is you're coming down
6:23
Speaker 1: towards Highway fifty one, you forget how big Lake Kaganze
6:26
Speaker 1: is and you see that and you're like, that is
6:28
Speaker 1: a massive body of water with some beautiful properties.
6:32
Speaker 2: So it's coming in on Highway B.
6:34
Speaker 1: Highway B is that what that? Yeah? Because and for
6:37
Speaker 1: folks that don't know, there always seems to be construction
6:38
Speaker 1: on Highway fifty one. So whether you like it or
6:40
Speaker 1: not exactly. So, as we talked this morning with Matt
6:44
Speaker 1: Heytman of Rock Realty the website Rock Wisconsin dot com,
6:47
Speaker 1: let's talk about about obviously if you're if you are
6:51
Speaker 1: especially right on the lake, there is a premium that
6:53
Speaker 1: comes with that, and that there's there's you know, you've
6:56
Speaker 1: got unfettered access to amazing bodies of water. But it's
7:00
Speaker 1: something that that for folks that that's you know, their
7:03
Speaker 1: lifestyle definitely worth that that that extra premium for the
7:06
Speaker 1: for the pricing, isn't it. Yeah, I'd say so.
7:08
Speaker 2: I mean we all wish we had maybe considered those
7:11
Speaker 2: places back in Oedo.
7:13
Speaker 1: Now. Yes, but at this point, if you're looking.
7:16
Speaker 2: To be on Lake Mindota or Lake Mindona, you're probably
7:18
Speaker 2: looking between a million dollars to over over three million
7:22
Speaker 2: for the for the high end homes there. And as
7:25
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, as you move a little further away
7:27
Speaker 2: from Madison, you can, you know, the prices do drop
7:30
Speaker 2: a little bit, but not not all that much, you know,
7:32
Speaker 2: as you get to Wabisa and get down to Kakonza, I.
7:35
Speaker 1: Know, kash Kana, but we'll talk about that some other days.
7:39
Speaker 1: There's some steals and deals there, but we're focusing right
7:41
Speaker 1: now on on specifically Dane County. Who are the folks
7:44
Speaker 1: here in Dane County that we're looking at. Who's who's
7:46
Speaker 1: who are buying these homes?
7:48
Speaker 2: You know, I would say obviously boomers downstairing to uh
7:53
Speaker 2: kind of lifestyle properties is a big deal. However, some
7:56
Speaker 2: of them are also selling those right that have already
7:58
Speaker 2: been there for a number of years. You can have
8:00
Speaker 2: remote tech workers, you know, maybe they're working in downtown
8:05
Speaker 2: Madison or just actually working out of San Francisco but
8:08
Speaker 2: just happened to be in Madison.
8:10
Speaker 1: How great that is.
8:11
Speaker 2: And out of state buyers. We get a lot of
8:14
Speaker 2: buyers coming up from Illinois, some from Minnesota, even California.
8:19
Speaker 1: It's funny when we when we locally compare prices, we
8:23
Speaker 1: look at pricing on the lake and say, you know,
8:25
Speaker 1: higher costs, and for good reason, you talk to somebody
8:28
Speaker 1: from Chicago, Land, or you talk to somebody from some
8:30
Speaker 1: of these other areas, they're like, that's still a fantastic deal.
8:33
Speaker 1: That's still an amazing price for all the benefits of
8:35
Speaker 1: living on the water. So let's talk obviously, as much
8:39
Speaker 1: as we look at the map and you see a
8:41
Speaker 1: lot of water there, there is an endless inventory. Obviously,
8:44
Speaker 1: we're talking about a finite thing there. And there's maybe
8:47
Speaker 1: some competition as well when it comes to purchasing, isn't there. Yeah?
8:49
Speaker 2: I would say, so, you know, people that live there
8:53
Speaker 2: want to be there, right and it's not too often
8:55
Speaker 2: that they move. It's usually kind of a big life changes,
8:58
Speaker 2: whether downsizing or having to get relocated. So I mean, yeah,
9:03
Speaker 2: it depends on the lake but usually like five to
9:05
Speaker 2: ten listings you know, maybe available at one time. You know,
9:08
Speaker 2: I would say it the most. It's usually just a handfill,
9:12
Speaker 2: and so when they do come on the market, there's
9:14
Speaker 2: always interest, and it's just a matter of whether or
9:16
Speaker 2: not that style of house, the age of house, the
9:20
Speaker 2: condition of the house is and maybe the lot layout
9:23
Speaker 2: is what people are looking for. But you will almost
9:26
Speaker 2: always have some sort of showings on a lake front
9:29
Speaker 2: home because it's always going to be on the lake
9:31
Speaker 2: and it's something you just can't find randomly. You have
9:35
Speaker 2: to you have to buy one that someone's already.
9:38
Speaker 1: What about with working with an agent, I mean we
9:41
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, how competitive that can be and
9:43
Speaker 1: how limited that inventory is. That's you know, we always
9:47
Speaker 1: stress the importance of working with a good agent, whether
9:49
Speaker 1: you're listing or if you're looking for a buyer's agent,
9:51
Speaker 1: especially in something like this where you're looking for a
9:53
Speaker 1: very specific type of property. You want to find that
9:56
Speaker 1: perfect agent, don't you. Yeah, I think so.
9:58
Speaker 2: I think you know, with the different criteria that you
10:02
Speaker 2: can we can put in there versus maybe one of
10:04
Speaker 2: the online sites, you know, we can specifically call out
10:07
Speaker 2: lake WABISA right, any homes that come with a front
10:10
Speaker 2: ennge on Lake Wabisa, that have over you know, a
10:14
Speaker 2: point one five acre or something, you know, so it's
10:16
Speaker 2: just not a tiny little row house, right and that
10:19
Speaker 2: way you're notified immediately when it comes in the market
10:21
Speaker 2: and you'll they're one of the first people through the door.
10:23
Speaker 1: Do these houses seasonally? Is there more action going on
10:28
Speaker 1: as far as sales and transactions? Depending on the time
10:30
Speaker 1: of year, I.
10:31
Speaker 2: Would say yeah, especially especially in the lake, people tend
10:34
Speaker 2: to wait for the spring or summer. However, there are
10:38
Speaker 2: some people that want to sell their house but enjoy
10:40
Speaker 2: that one last summer, so we will get some in
10:42
Speaker 2: the fall. If people have, you know, accenuating circumstances where
10:46
Speaker 2: they just you know, need to move over the winter,
10:48
Speaker 2: they will list it over the winter. But yeah, definitely
10:51
Speaker 2: shows the best, you know, yeah, when the waters.
10:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's some folks that maybe snowbirds that
10:57
Speaker 1: maybe you know, they they leave town for the winter anyway,
10:59
Speaker 1: so why not list while we're already away and probably
11:02
Speaker 1: makes things a little bit easier as far as staging.
11:04
Speaker 1: Other things that we were talking to about the importance
11:07
Speaker 1: working with a great agent. If you haven't had a

11:57
Speaker 1: Talking this morning with Matt about some of the benefits
12:00
Speaker 1: of living on the waterfront. And we've got some great
12:05
Speaker 1: lakes here in Dane County some really really cool perks
12:08
Speaker 1: and some really really cool things that come along with that,
12:11
Speaker 1: And let's talk about some of those, some of those
12:13
Speaker 1: lifestyle perks, Matt. I mean, for most of us, you're
12:16
Speaker 1: taking if you're taking a vacation on the weekend, you're
12:19
Speaker 1: heading to somewhere that's got these exact same amenities. You
12:23
Speaker 1: can actually live in one of those houses and not
12:26
Speaker 1: have to Monday through Friday could even be your vacation, right, Yeah, absolutely,
12:29
Speaker 1: and you know people with families, I mean that's a
12:32
Speaker 1: big draw to you know, coming out of COVID. Everybody's
12:35
Speaker 1: looking for pools at their own place or being on
12:38
Speaker 1: the lake, right and that allows you to do things
12:40
Speaker 1: like kayaking, paddle bornering, fishing, ice skating in the winter. Yeah,
12:45
Speaker 1: it's not something i'd do. I have bruises.
12:49
Speaker 2: You know, you've got the views obviously, especially and some
12:52
Speaker 2: of the lakes that allow you to see the capital.
12:55
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's different things like lake events as well
12:58
Speaker 2: that you get to participate in.
12:59
Speaker 1: You mentioned the view of the capital. Is that is
13:01
Speaker 1: there like a premium, like let's say you have that property,
13:04
Speaker 1: because I know there's obviously some little outlets and other
13:06
Speaker 1: things where maybe the property doesn't face the capital. I've
13:09
Speaker 1: got to guess if you have like a property with
13:12
Speaker 1: like a really nice view of the Capitol and the downtown,
13:14
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a premium, slight premium
13:17
Speaker 1: for sure.
13:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's something that is you know, it's
13:20
Speaker 2: a neat thing to happen. Yes, yeah, you've got the
13:23
Speaker 2: lake and the Capitol. So it's not just the lake view.
13:26
Speaker 1: I think too as I drive here on fish Hatchery
13:28
Speaker 1: Road or there's a slight hill over here and if
13:30
Speaker 1: you kind of notice, you can just barely see the Capitol.
13:33
Speaker 1: And I think it's no coincidence that whoever built these
13:35
Speaker 1: office buildings over here kind of built them that way
13:37
Speaker 1: so they all face. Sure that capitol. What a really
13:39
Speaker 1: cool thing there are and there is you know, nothing
13:43
Speaker 1: beats having lakefront property. There are some things though that
13:46
Speaker 1: you got to remember, is if you are in the
13:49
Speaker 1: in the market for a shore property, there are some
13:53
Speaker 1: things to think about, like different types of insurance and
13:55
Speaker 1: zoning and those kinds of things are definitely things you've
13:57
Speaker 1: got to be aware are part of come with the territory.
14:00
Speaker 2: So to say, yeah, absolutely, and you know, the flood
14:03
Speaker 2: insurance is a pretty big you know, negative I'd say
14:08
Speaker 2: you're kind of yeah, beholden to the market of flood insurance, right,
14:13
Speaker 2: but it is something that's not all like properties require,
14:17
Speaker 2: but most do. There's shoreland zoning, which is designed to
14:22
Speaker 2: protect the waterfront and also you know, protect things that
14:26
Speaker 2: are flowing into the water, protect the trees and the
14:31
Speaker 2: landscaping around the waterfront to have it looking good for everybody,
14:35
Speaker 2: so you don't have just one person in there just
14:38
Speaker 2: tearing everything down, right, So, yeah.
14:40
Speaker 1: Is that something to As you work with your agent,
14:43
Speaker 1: they can kind of help you at least understand for folks, say,
14:45
Speaker 1: I think of being a first time home buyer is
14:47
Speaker 1: one thing. I think also being a first time home
14:49
Speaker 1: buyer with shore front property, having the right agent that
14:52
Speaker 1: can kind of help guide you similarly to again is
14:55
Speaker 1: almost like a first time buyer. That's got to be
14:57
Speaker 1: a great relationship, an important one to establish there.
15:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if nothing else to point you to
15:01
Speaker 2: where the information is right. So there's a lot of
15:05
Speaker 2: rules when it comes to shortland zoning, and being able
15:08
Speaker 2: to know that ahead of time is important so you
15:10
Speaker 2: don't go in there thinking you'll be able to do
15:11
Speaker 2: something when you can't you know. One of the other
15:14
Speaker 2: things would be.
15:16
Speaker 1: Boat houses.
15:17
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not not always allowed to just build a.
15:20
Speaker 1: New boat house.
15:21
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, the local municipalities or you know, state
15:25
Speaker 2: that the boat house, if it's there, you can remodel it,
15:27
Speaker 2: but you can't build new. So it's you know, things
15:29
Speaker 2: like that that you really want to, really want to
15:32
Speaker 2: know about and have an agent help you out.
15:33
Speaker 1: With investigate that stuff. For sure. We've been talking a
15:36
Speaker 1: lot too, and I think obviously with because they're so
15:39
Speaker 1: visible in such high profile. Lake Mindona and Lake Monona
15:42
Speaker 1: are obviously very, very attractive, but there are areas. We
15:47
Speaker 1: started this conversation talking about the other two areas, two
15:50
Speaker 1: big lakes here in town, Keiganza and Wabisa. And there
15:53
Speaker 1: are some benefits, many benefits to all lakes, but those
15:56
Speaker 1: two in particular, as we talk about Dan County, there
15:59
Speaker 1: are some benefits as far as them being kind of
16:01
Speaker 1: up and coming spaces, aren't there.
16:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I'd say Lake Kagans and Lake Wabisa there,
16:06
Speaker 2: you know, they offer a bit of affordability and quieter settings,
16:10
Speaker 2: I mean as affordable as lake front can be. Yeah, yes,
16:14
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think that, you know, once people realize
16:17
Speaker 2: I was helping a buyer a number of years back,
16:19
Speaker 2: they were they were looking for kind of a larger
16:21
Speaker 2: house right in kind of Madison Proper. And then when
16:24
Speaker 2: I kind of sent them a listing, I said, hey,
16:27
Speaker 2: you know, for the same price, you could actually be
16:30
Speaker 2: down here on Kaganza in this house that's that that
16:33
Speaker 2: just got listed. And they ended up on the lake
16:35
Speaker 2: and they weren't even looking there, and that's because it's affordable.
16:38
Speaker 2: But you know, it's always going to have that value
16:40
Speaker 2: by being on the lake.
16:42
Speaker 1: Is there also opportunities and I think specifically as you
16:44
Speaker 1: talk Keigans and wabisa Airbnb type properties, I know that
16:48
Speaker 1: there are some some really really beautiful new homes on
16:51
Speaker 1: both those lakes, but there's also some, you know, some
16:54
Speaker 1: of those smaller, more traditional homes out there that maybe
16:57
Speaker 1: somebody is looking to say, hey, you know, we'd love
16:59
Speaker 1: to have our own little little piece of lake front
17:02
Speaker 1: and shore front, but maybe we'll live there when we retire.
17:07
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we could probably make a good a
17:10
Speaker 1: good living airbnbing that that property. Is that something that
17:14
Speaker 1: folks may be looking at some of these some of
17:15
Speaker 1: these properties and lakes.
17:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can definitely at least you know, cover some costs. Sure,
17:19
Speaker 2: but I would say that it depends on the municipality
17:22
Speaker 2: sometimes even like what area of the lake right. It's interesting,
17:25
Speaker 2: you know because I mean, like you would know Koshkonog's
17:27
Speaker 2: got what four or five different municipalities, yes, right, So
17:31
Speaker 2: it all depends what the local rules are. Sometimes it's
17:34
Speaker 2: going to require you to rent the home for a
17:37
Speaker 2: full year. Sometimes you can just do it for you know,
17:40
Speaker 2: half half a year to kind of cover some costs.
17:42
Speaker 1: I remember a few years ago I saw listing for
17:44
Speaker 1: a home. Literally it was a dead end street that
17:47
Speaker 1: the dead end street went right into the parking lot
17:48
Speaker 1: of Lambo, and I thought, would that be perfect for
17:51
Speaker 1: an airba because it was next to nothing. And then
17:53
Speaker 1: you do a little digging and you're like, oh, there's
17:54
Speaker 1: a reason why somebody hasn't snatched us up. As they say, no,
17:58
Speaker 1: Airbnb is right next to land. You want to you
18:01
Speaker 1: want to talk to their agent about those those type
18:03
Speaker 1: of things. And uh and Matt, as we kind of
18:05
Speaker 1: break this down just a little bit more, there are
18:07
Speaker 1: some obviously it's a very special thing to have that
18:10
Speaker 1: that property on the lake. There are some responsibilities that
18:13
Speaker 1: come with it and some understanding as well about about
18:16
Speaker 1: what you're buying because you're really not just buying into
18:19
Speaker 1: that that lot, you're buying into part of that lake community.
18:22
Speaker 1: Just real quick and we don't have to go through
18:23
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of really really in depth
18:26
Speaker 1: things about really exciting, really exciting stuff. Yeah, but it
18:30
Speaker 1: is something that that folks that are that are looking
18:33
Speaker 1: to buy uh, lake front property, really want to understand
18:36
Speaker 1: that that there is you know, there is something special
18:40
Speaker 1: in that in that ownership, isn't there.
18:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, there absolutely is, and uh you know it's something
18:45
Speaker 2: that you know, people tend to hold on for a
18:47
Speaker 2: long time. Yeah, right, because they figure they can hand
18:50
Speaker 2: it down to their kids, want their families, right or
18:54
Speaker 2: at least have them visit in the summer. So you know,
18:56
Speaker 2: we have a lot of you know, people to come
18:58
Speaker 2: up just to purchase these second homes. You get a
19:01
Speaker 2: smaller property, just to have the experience of the weekends.
19:04
Speaker 1: And they also turn into I know some of our
19:06
Speaker 1: financial shows people are listening right now, going don't forget
19:09
Speaker 1: to remind them about trust. These are definitely type of
19:11
Speaker 1: homes that you want to establish a nice trust for
19:13
Speaker 1: the kids and grand gates opportunity for us. Yes, exactly exactly,
19:18
Speaker 1: speaking of a house that would just be perfect to
19:20
Speaker 1: hand down for generations. This is a beautiful, beautiful house
19:23
Speaker 1: right on Edgewater Street in Portage up in Columbia County,
19:27
Speaker 1: you know, right across from the river. Mentioned some of
19:30
Speaker 1: the new stuff as well. I don't know if we
19:31
Speaker 1: mentioned the basement even speaking of new things, it's got
19:34
Speaker 1: a refit, it's got a finished basement and that could
19:37
Speaker 1: actually you know, it's got its own kind of living
19:39
Speaker 1: quarters down there as well. Am I understanding that correctly?
19:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's got a it's actually got a
19:43
Speaker 2: kitchen and renovated full bathroom, so it's got a rental
19:47
Speaker 2: potential down there. I mean, what an affordable house for
19:49
Speaker 2: essentially having waterfront, Yeah, and talking about to mean three
19:52
Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand dollars, three bedroom, two and a
19:54
Speaker 2: half bath and just a short drive. I mean, why
19:57
Speaker 2: why go all the way up north and you can
19:59
Speaker 2: just own this way yeah away.
20:02
Speaker 1: Or so it is it is. And the other thing
20:03
Speaker 1: too that I noticed about and just kind of looking
20:06
Speaker 1: at the photos of this of this home, very well
20:09
Speaker 1: maintained like every part of it, and and and and
20:12
Speaker 1: that's it. Sometimes you can kind of judge like the
20:15
Speaker 1: overall quality of a home just by the way it's
20:17
Speaker 1: been been cared for. And you can tell just from
20:20
Speaker 1: the outside pictures, like the structure itself, you can tell
20:25
Speaker 1: that that they've done very good upkeep. But even things
20:28
Speaker 1: like the shrubs and and and like the front front
20:30
Speaker 1: entry way, you can tell the current owners have definitely
20:34
Speaker 1: taken very good care of this this home over the years.
20:37
Speaker 1: And you talk about curb appeal to beautiful, beautiful, agree.
20:39
Speaker 2: And inside it's beautiful as well. Yeah, as some would say,
20:43
Speaker 2: cute as a button, it's.
20:45
Speaker 1: A and it's it's good space twenty twenty seven square feet,
20:49
