It’s an adorable Colonial on an original tract of William Penn Land dating back to 1745. It has a barn & an old stone in-ground pool, and it backs up to woods and sits by a creek (it is actually called “Creek House”). It actually is in a State Park with trails, right next to trails. (The house was there when Washington’s soldiers camped in the park during the American Revolution!) It is a big house, but is being sold in “as-is” condition; so it needs some major work, but is actually for about half of its value. Still, with that, it’s at the high end of our budget, and the renovation work will require a sizable chunk of money. I didn’t expect to like it this much, but I just fell in love with it: the site is gorgeous! I’ve been trying to justify it to my partner as a good investment, but I think he’s very reluctant to take on a house this old that needs so much work. He seems to be dreading nightmarish scenarios ala “The Money Pit”! So I think I will have to give up on that daydream for now…
