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.

17 Grove St, Sandwich, MA – $625,000 $599,000
3 bed, 3 bath, 1800 sq feet. I guess my standards of houses are different than most. I don’t mind small spaces, I guess because I’ve lived in small houses all my life (my bedroom as a teenager was probably the size of a walk-in closet.) I’m totally in love with this house despite its small size rooms. I’m also diggin’ the setting with a beautiful garden and right on the water.

“Presenting the historic William Newland House, c. 1639. Located in the heart of Sandwich Village, yet off the main roads. Featuring 180′ of frontage on Shawme Pond, this authentically restored home offers beautiful water views from most rooms, plus a private dock. 3 bedrooms, 4 fireplaces, beautiful panelling and floors on 3 full levels of living space. Outside, exquisite gardens with millstones and arbors complete the picture.”

11850 Colonial Trail West, Spring Grove, VA – $150,000 No longer listed.
3 bed, 2 bath, 1500 square feet on 1.169 acres. Needs additional restoration but has toe curling potential to be a fantastic house. Check out the street view here; pan to the right to check out the house next door while you’re at it.

974 Ward Hill Rd, Plymouth, ME – $575,000 No longer listed.
4 bed, 1 bath, 2000 square feet on 260 acres along with many out buildings. Not to sound redundant but would love to see the “original details…two staircases.”
