I can just imagine they are a fortune.
But, consider that they have already been refurbished.
I bet that cost the above mentioned fortune.
I'm sure they were low interest loans, though.
I think there is a gov't loan for historic homes.
There's only one true Antebellum home left in Meridian.
The rest of them were burned a long time ago.
yes...I think you can get historic registry help and they require things be done properly to period.
sounds fine to me, I'm a big believer in preserving most old architecture.
there are a lot around here....in the posher areas...when they go on market, it's at a premium.
Onyx did great with hers (they did buy the old Victorian did they not?)
Those digs here would be 3-4 times the price in a swank area.
My dad almost bought an antebellum home between Mufreesboro and Nashville (it had a name...they all do..lol) in 1986 or so. It was around 6000 sq ft with 120 acres and went for about 700K. That same home now would be 3.5-5M
And that property was in great shape.
My mom looked at a Victorian 3 story with attic and huge basement on Main St in Murfreesboro (Murfreesboro is to Nashville what Canton is to Jackson)...Main St is really nice....an historic district....about 10,000 sq ft in decent shape....the heirs were fighting. She was afraid of too much house...had an elevator. I told here we could all live in it..lol
It went for 350K about 6 years ago....a steal bigtime. If that happened today....I would buy it and commute. Helluva house.
They made a nice B&B of it.
Here's a link to the B&B that got away.
