...how much did they want for it tim?...It looks like it would list for $1.6 to 1.8 mil. I personally think that is way too high, but the house next door sold in 2022 for 1.7 mil.

And it is just a question, curious on this is all, not looking to start a flaming war.

I would totally keep it. Americans tear down too much. Our first home...a log cabin.... We bought in 1985 was built in 1860. Sure...we added a wing to it and modernized it, but kept the main house with a fireplace that was as tall as me with a hook in it to cook. (Not that we did). I just love the vintage or antique homes that can be modernized.

Just like your fireplace with the pot crane.
We have had the privilege of owning and living in a house that was built in 1781 (the year Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown - just to give some perspective). We have been here 30 years this September. There was an addition built in the 1860’s and we added an addition in 2009. We love it so much! I can’t imagine tearing down the treasure of an old house from the 1860’s. What a loss that would be. I hope it doesn’t happen.
That was my first Coast Guard assignment and it was right next to the battlefield.

Another "glad they're not tearing it down" example: there's a small old cottage at 3600 S Va. Dare Trail in Nags Head that just went on the market a few weeks ago. It was built in 1970 and I'm told the elderly couple that owned it both passed away in the last year. The house went on the market, and all us nearby neighbors were sure it would be a tear-down and there would be a big rental machine house on the lot.To our pleasant surprise, the house sold quickly, and renovation crews have been working non-stop since, keeping the old foot-print. New decking, windows, doors, paint, cleared out a bunch of brush, etc. Not sure what's going on inside, but the exterior looks great. Check out the interior photos from the listing, the walls and floors are classic old wood: Click to follow link...
