It finally happened, one of my childhood homes came on the market. I haven’t seen the interior for 50 years.
It sold fast. When I alerted my brother about it today he said he would’ve considered buying it if he known sooner it was for sale. Well buddy, you have got to live on realtor.com.com like I do because otherwise you snooze and lose! Ha ha
I am absolutely blown away by how beautiful the interior is. This was an expensive house for the time with all of its diamond pane windows, its quarter sawn oak woodwork, its limestone foundation. Someone who built this thing had some money. The current owner has done a lovely job with it. The people she bought it from were crap Lords. They let it run down, they filled in the front porch which looks like hell, and I think they were the ones that sold off part of the 1 acre lot.
But you can see in this listing that the current owner loves the house, knows how to show it off, and just takes care of it beautifully. She’s been there for many years. I don’t know her, but a couple years ago I sent her a photograph of the exterior I had from the 1960s.
– I am SO pleased with the way this place looks! The house we moved to after this one is likely in a bad state. It’s also about ready to turn over owners. It’s the one I’ve shown here before of the exterior. The local historical society wants to buy it. My cousin is a member of that board and he’s on the negotiating team. They haven’t seen the interior yet. We are all fearful of damage from 40 years of neglect.
