Bed and Breakfast Potential - Modern Colonial home for sale on a farm in Wantage NJ - 87 Sherman Ridge Road

Irene Kennedy Realtor® in Northwestern NJ: Real Estate Agent in Lopatcong, NJ

87 Sherman Ridge Road Wantage NJ - Bed and Breakfast potential - Irene Kennedy

This 2002 center-hall Colonial home for sale was built in 2002 and is in the final stages of renovations - notably the kitchen.  The owners had a long-term idea of opening a Bed and Breakfast on this 32 acre farm in Wantage NJ. 87 Sherman Ridge Road was built with B&B potential in mind but can serve as a spectacular private home too.

 

Just $639,499 as of January 26, 2011!

 

Each of the bedrooms in this Colonial home for sale has its own bathroom. One also has a communicating den or library. There is a laundry on each of the 3 levels; no toting wash up and down stairs! The ground floor is a handicap-accessible in-law suite with a private entrance and magnificent "kitchenette."  The in-law bath is an 8-jet Jacuzzi but there is also a huge shower on that level to readily accommodate a seated user.  Additionally, the 32 acre farm at 87 Sherman Ridge Road is on the historic Kilpatrick's Reenactment site.  Sussex County is ripe with mountain lakes, ski slopes, spas and other activities that might suit guests at a Bed and Breakfast.

Tips for Buying a Great Home in Sussex County NJ - Don't be Shortsighted by a Bargain!!!

Irene Kennedy Realtor® in Northwestern NJ: Real Estate Agent in Lopatcong, NJ

Many of you potential first-time homeowners racing to buy homes for sale in Sussex County NJ may need some better glasses.

Yes, the $8000 tax credit might be an important factor. Please don't overlook, however, that value does not just equal the lowest list price. Particularly with homes for sale Sussex County NJ, you'll be wise to look carefully at the age of a roof, septic system, furnace, etc. If you only see the list price, your great deal might not be such a bargain when you add in expensive work in the not-too-distant future.

I have two Sussex County homes for sale listed where major systems have been recently overhauled. This should offer peace of mind that you won't been spending a small fortune in the near future on, say, a septic system. Although one has sold, 41 Beemer Church Road in Wantage (Branchville NJ zip) is available.

41 Beemer Church Rd - Branchville-Wantage NJ - Sussex County Homes for Sale

Are the list prices higher than that foreclosure you are considering? Absolutely. Speaking frankly, you may be very shortsighted if you buy a bargain today without factoring the major expenses you will be facing in the next few years. A roof ain't cheap! Septic work carries sticker shock!

Here is a gem of a ranch home for sale in Wantage Township NJ; it has a Branchville NJ mailing address. 41 Beemer Church Road is a meticulously maintained two-bedroom home, the owners have already made huge investments in a roof, front and back decks, flooring, etc. The septic is only 10 years old. Entirely move-in ready.

Sure, 41 Beemer Church Road has a somewhat higher list price than some of the Sussex County fixer-uppers you're considering buying. But when that bargain home for sale needs a new roof in 2 years, will you be prepared to pay the cost? Don't count on increasing home values resulting in your ability to get a home-equity loan to pay for the roof.

Update Fall 2009 - The following ranch home for sale in Scenic Lakes - Vernon - Sussex County NJ has been sold.

p>

This three bedroom ranch home for sale in Scenic Lakes - Vernon NJ - is another great value! Newer furnace, septic and some appliances. Yes, you'll want to do some painting and perhaps refinish the hardwood floors under the living room carpet. As your fortunes increase, you have the OPTION of updating a bathroom. (Replacing a septic is NEVER an option, trust me!) Buying 12 High Crest Drive in Scenic Lakes might just be a better value than a bank-owned foreclosure on which you'll have some capital expenses in the next couple years!

So, if you're looking to buy a home for sale in Sussex County NJ - or elsewhere - clean your glasses! Stop and consider the longer-term costs of that underpriced foreclosure.
