Introducing The Steal of a Century!
Posted on 08. Jun, 2009 by Joshua Ferris in Featured Properties, Home Buying Guide, Orange County
I kid you not. Sure, today’s market has seen its fair share of bad press for having overpriced homes but not all homes are overpriced. In fact, it’s in today’s kind of real estate market that the best deals in town can be found. Allow me to introduce you to one of those unheard of deals:
20 Pierces Rd, #72 – Totally Renovated One Bedroom Condo – This Home has an Accepted Offer as of 7/16/09.

View of the Living, Dining and Kitchen Spaces
When the homeowners moved into this one bedroom, one bath condo a few years back they decided to update everything. No stone was left unturned and the result is a stunning, practically new space that feels like a true diamond in the rough.

Appliances are less than 5 years old
Let’s start with the kitchen. Every piece of the cabinet is solid wood including the doors. Open up the lower cabinet to the left of the oven and you’re greeted by pull out shelves. To the right of the glossy black oven is a storage cabinet with easy access to a broom, mop and everything in between.

The granite sink is highlighted by under cabinet lighting...
The granite sink is the centerpiece of this beautifully redesigned kitchen. The homeowners took great care in enhancing all aspects of the kitchen experience by using carefully placed under cabinet lighting to give the room a bright, calming ambience.
The kitchen is still all about functionality though so you will find a built-in plate rack to make dinner prep a cinch and fold out door panels in front of the sink to make clean up even easier. The door panels are large enough to hold sponges, gloves and other cleaning utensils.

Living Room with all new amenities...
Even the living room was treated to new pergo floors, baseboard heaters and a new energy efficient air conditioning unit. Windows throughout the home were all replaced as well so the chances of wasted heat and cooling during all seasons has been greatly reduced. The living room is large enough to accommodate a full size couch, love seat, tv wall unit and a home office with room to spare.
One key feature the homeowners sought was a usable bathroom space. After all, you’ll be using it every day to get ready for work and each night before you sleep. Since storage was tantamount to the usefulness of the bathroom, custom solid wood cabinets were once again utilized.
To the lower left of the sink sits one very deep drawer capable of storing all bathroom essentials including toilet paper and paper towels in bulk. The upper left cabinet is exposed for easy access to towels and small bathroom accessories.
Modern track lighting was used to brighten the room and a new, energy efficient vent fan was installed to reduce humidity and steam in the room during times of extended use.
A fully tiled shower with bathtub compliment the room’s luxurious feel. The shower has more than just glamorous appeal going for it though as the plumbing was also reworked and in-shower shelving installed to make the area more usable.

Lots of closet space highlights the usefulness of this master suite.
A lot of thought went into remodeling the bedroom of this home. Because the homeowners are also very active they needed a place to get in a few minutes of cardio while still having plenty of closet space for their clothes, shoes and other accessories. A tastefully designed set of mirror doors were installed to make smart use of the newly extended closet.
A ceiling fan was added to help traffic airflow from the window in the rear of the bedroom. Currently the master bedroom is home to a queen size sleigh bed with full size head and foot board, two dressers, two nightstands and a treadmill (off screen on the right).
When you buy this home you aren’t just buying a nearly new feeling one bedroom in the center of it all. Of course being five minutes to the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge via I-84, seven minutes to I-87 and Shortline Bus transportation to NYC and a few minutes away from the upcoming SUNY Orange campus along the Hudson River are perks to living here. But the homeowners went above and beyond and added other comforts so the home is now wired for Verizon FIOS (just call and activate) and a security system with remote access was added for extra peace of mind.

Landscaped Entrance of the Home
The community is well manicured with mature landscaping leading up to the steps of every building and tall trees surrounding the home. Snow is whisked away by management at breathtaking speeds which means getting to your car and out to work each day will never be a hassle again. There is additional storage space and laundry facilities in the building next door and your assigned parking space is directly in front of the home. Guest parking is available for friends and family who are visiting and you have the option of renting another parking space if you need it. There is also an in-ground swimming pool available for residents to use during the warmer months.
