"Everyone said, 'You have to assume everything is going to be double what you expect.' And they were kind of right," Engel reflects on their budget miscalculations, underscoring the unexpected costs associated with such renovations.
"We didn't really listen to that part," admits Engel, revealing the common pitfalls of new homeowners who overlook vital financial advice, an experience many renovating couples can relate to.
"By the fall of 2021, Château Avensac was theirs for $1.2 million," detailing the couple's journey into ownership and the financial commitments that followed as they dove into an old-world dream.
