old house dreams
Emily Oster
If you dream of living in an old home than this site is for you. Old House Dreams catalogues old house real estate listing from all over the country. Its inventory is huge and with the option to filter by criteria such as state, architectural style, size etc. it is easy to find properties to lust over. Here are just a few that caught my eye.
1840 Italianate - Canandaigua, New York
This historic cobblestone home is located in the town my Dad grew up in so I have an easy time picturing how amazing it could be. It looks to be last updated in the 1970s so it definitely needs so work. It features 5 bedrooms and 1 bath, 4 fireplaces, many of the original moldings and trim and sits on 2 acres. Originally listed for $149,900, this property sold for $139,900.
1810 Federal - Machipongo, Virginia
This one is a true fixer upper but it has such great potential. I love the scale and massing of the exterior and the interior looks to have much of the original character and detailing. Priced at $450,000 this home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, is 2700 square feet and is located on 60 acres.
1805 Federal - Martinsburg, West Virginia
If you love the idea of living in an old home but not the idea of a fixer upper than this home is for you. A "Certified Rehabilitation Project" this sandstone house is 3 bed and 3.5 baths, has updated modern systems, sits on 65+ acres with three ponds and has incredible views. Its listed for $699,999.
Another move in ready home, this property has the most amazing approach. Just look at the aerial of the drive in! Amazing features of this home include 12ft ceilings, beautiful outbuildings, original hardwoods and 8 fireplaces. It is listed for $599,000.
