Yolanda! Beautiful Victorian Home! I live in Arizona and am surrounded by stucco, but have renovated my home in a Victorian/cottage beach style and my neighbors think it is pretty fantastic. The kids in the neighborhood think its like a "doll house" and my appraiser went nuts for it! So, its funny, what is common appearance in your neck of the woods is celebrated and rare in mine! LOL! And, thank you so much for commenting on my site! I do appreciate it!

Yolanda--What a lovely home! A historic site no less...What an opportunity for a buyer. Good luck at your open house.

Yolanda, that is one fabulous home! I hope it does sell on Sunday for you. If it doesn't sell - you might want to consider having the client do some pre-packing. I'm honestly not trying to be rude - but all of their treasures detract from the architectural features. I can't believe the price of the home. Here in Calgary, an average house (which is a far cry from that beautiful property) is now over $400 000 dollars. Yikes! Betty

Hello, Betty! I know you're not being rude--like I told you before, I wish you lived closer to me. LOL It's a steal considering the condition and the architectural features this home has. Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. The open house went well and the home showed great. We're just waiting for the right buyer so we could do a COE (a tribute to Rosemary). : ) Have a fabulous day!

Yolanda, I love historic homes. My first home was 104 years old when we sold it and if I could have moved it to a better location, I would have done so. Best wishes with your marketing efforts in getting this home Sold!

Thanks for your comment, Lola. This home is not only fabulous but in a very nice location--I could live in it myself but too far from hubby's work. It's all relative, isn't it?

I just love old Victorian homes and if I ever get to the chance where I can own 50 acres, I'm going to get some blue prints for some of these older homes and have me one built! Where I want to live, they just don't have acreage and homes like these!

Oct 12, 2007 04:13 AM

Hi, Todd! Great to see you! Well, we still have that kind of acreage over here--keep us in mind when the time comes. I'll even help you find good builders. :) Thanks for your comments, Todd. Have a great weekend!
