Project overview

Disciplined acquisition, targeted rehabilitation, and a completed resale.

17 Locust Street represents a focused auction-to-resale project in Walden, New York. Based on the project figures supplied by ownership, the property was acquired for $231,000, received approximately $40,000 in construction and rehabilitation work, and was resold for $325,000.

Project closeout

A completed rehabilitation connected to a clear market outcome.

The case study brings together acquisition discipline, a defined rehabilitation budget, completed-condition documentation, and resale execution. The result is presented as a project-level example of residential repositioning rather than a claim of net investment performance.

Its strongest visual outcomes are the finished wood interiors, functional kitchen and bath, outdoor living areas, renewed exterior presentation, and the property’s river setting.
