Be the next steward of “Wishing Well Place!”

"Wishing Well Place" began in the 1840's as a small cottage and was enlarged in 1880 into a luxury home with large formal rooms and opulent amenities for its era. The great room measures approximately 16 ft x 27 ft offering a grand entertaining space. The large eat-in kitchen features tall ceilings and an art deco style center island, as well as access to the patio and yard and a walk-in pantry. Overall the home is reasonably well maintained and highly original to the 1880's period, featuring elements from both the 1840's and the 1880's. Similar finished homes in the neighborhood are for sale over 200k, leaving plenty of room to rehab and build equity. The home is on a quiet street on a corner lot in a desirable part of town, surrounded by other beautiful historic homes!

This sweet 1930s ranch needs work, but is sweet as pie!

If you're looking for a project, this Chapmantown property offers the kind of potential that rewards buyers ready to take on a full restoration. The home features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout and is in need of a full rehab throughout. The (stripped) kitchen and bathroom are present but not functioning, and the home will require comprehensive work before it’s livable or lendable. Outside, you’ll find a nicely fenced yard along with an exterior shop that adds useful storage or workspace.

The lot features 261 feet of medium elevation leading to a peaceful lake known for its excellent fishing. An older log cabin sits on the property, which could be a rewarding project for someone handy. The property is ideally situated for access to recreational trails and is a fantastic area for hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying nature.

I love a time capsule.

Charming colonial style 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home full of 1,600 sqft of space for the whole family. There is potential for a 5th bedroom if heat is added to the finished attic on the 3rd floor and potential for an additional full bathroom in the basement. There are so many options for places to relax or entertain on the back covered porch, the wrap around balcony, the sunroom or even in the large living room by the wood-burning fireplace. This home needs some TLC but has outstanding potential!
