While we paid at least 30% less than a similar property in a "better" part of town, our home now has equal value. This was an obvious no-brainer as we bought in the area near a recently closed Naval base. So many beautiful, turn-of-the-twentieth century homes just looking for owner inhabitants. We also bought a small three-bedroom we turned into a two-bedroom with a great master bedroom and a beautiful guest room. This was only possible because of a partially finished basement that houses all of our messes!
