" Victorian architecture dominates East Chop, with a wide variety of real estate ranging from large summer homes to modest cottages. Maybe we'll be able to find something here."
" Well, I really like East Chop. It's got a nice laid-back feeling and I love the pine woods everywhere."
" Yeah, a nice, cool location."
" Is this it?"
" This is the house."
" This is it?"
" Yeah, yeah."
" It's awfully small house."
" Well, you know the house is only 300 square feet but what you're buying here, the land is 19,000 square feet, almost a half acre."
" Now, what's the asking price here?"
" 138, reduced from 160. Excellent value."
" Excellent venue."
" Look at this house. Even though, it's small, it's got these Gothic shutters and, you know, colonial windows, real wood screens."
" Yeah."
" You can do great things here."
" Oh, the shingles look to be in good shape."
" The land alone is worth $100,000."
" About half an acre lot in East Chop, you figure, huh?"
" Yep."
" But it's just one room. Oh, well, no, it's 2 rooms."
" It's a few rooms."
" It's a few rooms?"
" Some of them aren't easy to get to but it's functional."
" Now, does it have a little history?"
" Yeah, about 50 years ago, it was moved from the campground up to this location."
" Uh huh."
" Other than that, I don't know too much about it. It's been used as a summer cottage by the family."
" Well, the porch posts look antique."
" Yes, they are."
" Yeah."
" They're from another property. Some place, I think in Pennsylvania."
" But this looks like it was added on to. It just has a kind of a lean-to feel."
" Yeah, this may be a newer section whereas the front section I think was the original one that was moved here."
" Well, can we take a look inside."
" Yeah, let's go right in."
" Solid."
" Yeah."
" Yeah, it's a nice porch. The porch has been re-done over the years."
" Price has been reduced, huh?"
" In good shape. Yeah. Let me see if we go in this door."
" Oh, this is cute."
" Yeah, isn't it nice? This is the living room. Look how it's detailed and really clean and neat. Nice double-hung windows, great detail."
" Yeah."
" Look outside, it's wood."
" Yeah, I know. Very private."
" Different setting."
" Very private location."
" You can get some raised paneling over this fireplace. Great fireplace. "
" Looks like an old door."
" Yeah."
" An interesting one."
" Looks like a steel fireplace. "
" Yeah, it looks like an insert."
" A little rusty."
" Sure, works probably quite well, too."
" Yeah."
" The damper."
" Yeah."
" So they moved this house here with the fireplace. That's neat."
" Yeah, they probably built the whole fireplace after they moved the house."
" Uh huh. Not much ceiling height. This is just probably not insulated either."
" No, no, you know, it's a 3-season house. Most people just use it for summer but it's still cozy and it's such a great thing."
" $130,000."
" Excellent value, down from 160. They actually have a full bath over here with a tub."
" Yeah."
" Uh huh."
" Well, that's tiles on the floor."
" Uh huh."
" You have a linen closet."
" Yeah."
" Uh huh."
" And this is the kitchen."
" And here you have this wonderful kitchen, nice walk-in kitchen, fully appliance, double sink."
" Look at this. Windows."
" Pocket."
" Pocket windows."
" Just like a sailboat."
" That's terrific."
" Yeah."
" Nice and bright in there, huh?"
" Really get a lot of use out of that."
" And then this is the bedroom in here."
" This could either be the bedroom or the dining room, depending upon how you're gonna use it."
" Where would you--"
" I'd say this could be the master bedroom because there is another bedroom upstairs."
" There is?"
" Yeah. You know, if you wanna stay on 1 floor, this could be--"
" Oh, this is very cute. It's roughly, what? Eight or nine feet by maybe ten?"
" Yeah, that's about it. Twelve, maybe twelve by ten."
" Nice wooden floors, cherry wallpaper, three windows so you get a nice cross breeze through here."
" Yeah."
" You say there's a second floor. Yeah, I noticed that there were dormers above here but there can't be too much up here."
" This is pretty tight."
" Yeah, it's a narrow stairway. It's kind of like a ship's stairway."
" Yeah, that's great."
" For little people."
" A little closet here. This is kind of like a doll house."
" Yeah, isn't it cute?"
" It's very unique, yeah, but, watch your head."
" Okay, I mean, we're talking 6-foot ceiling."
" Low ceiling but at least it's expansive and I'm guessing room."
" Once again, you have the painted pine floor."
" Uh huh."
" There's plenty of windows. You get a lot of good light in here."
" Just 3 windows, nice cross ventilation."
" There's another low closet over there."
" It's not much house. I mean, it's really a tiny play cottage almost but what you're really talking here is the land."
" The land is excellent."
" And the location."
" Yes. Land and location, it's just a super value."
