Buy a house for 86 cents It may seem impossible, but that’s what happened to an American young woman. Aunt Weston, 29, discovered at the end of last year a house degraded in North Dakota in the United States, about to be demolished. According to the work news, the owner, who refused to see the house destroyed, was willing to deliver it virtually at no cost to those who commit to restore it.
Love at first sight
The young woman decided to visit the house and, at first glance, fell in love with the property. “I remember coming in and enjoying immediately. I was small, the disposition made sense and realized that I could make it in the house of my dreams,” he said, quoted by the same source. The former owner had a strong emotional connection to the house, as his childhood residence, and so he was willing to offer her to those interested in saving her.
Less than one euro stuck to close the deal
Aunt Weston offered a dollar for housing, about 86 cents of euro, and the owner accepted. The legal procedures were followed to buy the house and the preparation of the remodeling, which eventually required a much higher investment. According to the source mentioned above, the young woman spent about $ 40,000 in the recovery of the house, approximately 34,400 euros.
Part of this amount was covered with $ 32,000, about 27,520 euros, which received when selling his previous home in Louisville. The rest was obtained through partnerships and the content that was sharing on social networks throughout the renewal.
Almost a year until I live again
The first step was to clean the entire space and start the most urgent interventions. The priorities passed through the roof, power grid, walls and ceilings. The American had her father’s help to replace roof zones that were rotten.
In all, the remodeling process took 37 weeks. “I live in the house a month ago and I’m in love,” he shared on social networks, quoted by the same source.
Personal project
For Aunt Weston, this house represents more than a simple housing. “It was one of the greatest passion projects in my life. I was obsessed with turning it into something beautiful,” he confessed. Now, after completing the interior remodeling, it is focused on recovering the exterior, according to the.
The property also includes half a hectare of land and a front porch that is also being restored.
