Love it! Thanks for posting.

What a superb house. Don't care for the baths much, but I acknowledge that's pretty nearly impossible to do really well in a property like that.

Around here that price would only get you something like this:

So charming.

wonderful home but so far from everywhere.

Beautiful. If I were younger I’d take on something like that. We just downsized and I wouldn’t want to have to clean, heat, or maintain a house that old and that big. Especially the old brick. It has to be maintained and sealed regularly to keep it from falling apart.

Here is what $650k buys you in Denver. A remuddled 50 year old house in a mediocre neighborhood.

Denver

I'm inside the beltway, D.C. area, 600K buys you this on a 4lane, noisy road.

The listing posted originally, is actually not in such a desolate area. It's relatively close to one of the U Maryland campuses, not too far from where many of the D.C. elites have summer houses, so great restaurants, and only about 2 1/2 hrs from D.C.

Maybe I'll tour it and see if I can buy some of the rugs or antiques. Would make a nice outing. There are lots of b&bs, half an hour to Chincoteague National seashore.

nosoccermom - I was going to "like" your Bethesda real estate post but it is too depressing to "like".

I love this house. The stove in the kitchen just bowled me over.

I wonder how much it is for maintenance.

I wonder how much it is for maintenance.

A lot, I would imagine, and I bet it's not very warm in cold weather, but still…

I'd love to find a 2500 square foot version, perhaps with a modern addition off the back with a master suite.

LOVE it! My hubby would say "money pit" though. But wow, what a house!

It’s a lovely rural part of Maryland. Close to the Chesapeake Bay and it’s

tributaries. The home has been well maintained. The grounds are great!

I have lived here now for 18 years, was actually going to move into a great home in chrisfield. Unless they got a grocery store inthe last gold rush there, you are 30-40 minutes from a decent grocery store, not to mention any other amenities. having lived in crapo for 5 years, i know that you are nowhere near a hospital, so you will have to be airlifted every time you are ill. and within a couple years there will be serious flooding problems. I know i am stomping on your dream. but to tell the truth 1-0-15 years ago, i would have been working hard trying to figure how to make it work. oh time changes perspective. lol
