A lover, obsessor, dreamer of old homes.

30 Mill Ln, Brimfield, MA – $1.49 Million
5 Bed, 3 Bath, 2712 square feet on 28 acres.

13009 Windsor Blvd, Suffolk, VA – $958,400
4 Bed, 1 Bath, 2100 square feet on 87 acres. Known as the Henry Saunders House. The perfect house! So cute! Not overly redone, beautiful bright colors (I find that houses like these, they tend to use really dark colors.) I can only think of two negatives. One: not in the middle of nowhere. For 87 acres, I’d want to be far, far away from people. Two: Price. Y’ouch, way to much for my coin purse.

7 Bay View Ln, Onancock, VA – $399,000
2 bed, 1570 square feet on 7 acres. Gutted but cute exterior and great view of Deep Creek.

12786 Friendship Rd, Chilhowie, VA – $286,000 $195,000

I want! I want! I want! Built in 1765 by Colonel Patton (a Google search of Colonel James Patton results in interesting info), as a home and fortress against Indians. Three stories with four huge fireplaces. All original doors, floors, walls, fireplaces.

I originally posted this back in May ‘09. They finally put up some bigger and more pics of the house and reduced the price. Decided to bring this one up a notch to reintroduce it to you folks. 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 2934 square feet. I think this is the street view. Looks country to me. I could retire here…in 50 or so years.
