Property Description
Be prepared to fall in love, This is one gorgeous home!!!! Originally built in 1872 on a 204 acre dairy farm. Over the years the farm transitioned from dairy to cattle and then thoroughbred horses. The brick extension was added in 1980 with an European lime wash and the entire home was renovated to its current design in 2016. The property was brought down to a 1 acre lot and left the original footprint of the home. The wrap around porch is timeless. Authenticity is important so major renovations only included removing walls in kitchen to create the open concept, extension of primary bedroom created an ensuite bathroom with two vanities and the European walk-in tiled shower room. The extension was updated to create useful storage, an oversized laundry room and informal spaces that farm houses sometimes lack. A large room with a separate outdoor exit could be used as a home office or additional family room. The barn doors into this part of the house were added as a reminder of the homes history as a working farmhouse. The stone surround on the living room fireplace and stone back porch were quarried from the farm. There is a beautiful wood staircase in the front foyer as well as a rear staircase off the kitchen. Take a moment to admire this kitchen! Complete with an oversized island, ample cabinet space , pantry and still plenty of room for a table. The wood trim and bannisters throughout the home are some of the original pieces that so many try to duplicate. Once you make your way up stairs you will see the second level showcases beautiful woods floors leading you to 4 bedrooms and another staircase leading upstairs to another finished level that could be bedrooms, a gym , home office or playroom! The view from upstairs over the remaining farm land is unmatched. There is SO MUCH to see!! Call your favorite Realtor to schedule a tour.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
