I shot this sweet Beacon Victorian last week for JonCar Realty, the same broker who’s listing our house. The seller and I got to chatting and it turns out they friggin adore my house but can’t put in an offer until they know theirs is going to sell.
I like the idea of this couple getting our house for a number of reasons.
1. They’ve restored their own old home and know what it takes.
2. They appreciate the work we’ve already done because, well, see #1.
3. They read my blog.
4. They are from Beacon, so they won’t be abandoning the house for the city after a few years (like us).
5. Our house is commercially zoned. A lovely Victorian with original detail up the road was sold to a lawyer a few years back and it was totally raped. Now it’s a vinyl sided law office. Damn shame, that is. I’d die if someone did that to my house.
6. Ok, here’s where I start tearing up. The wife said our house is her dream home. It’s always been our dream house and it still is. Just wish we could pack it and take it to Brooklyn. I want someone in there who loves it as much as we do.
Ok, enough about our house. So, here’s the house you have to buy:
A 1910 house on a quiet street. 3 BR, 2 Bath lovely restoration. 0.08 backyard already fenced for a dog, if you have one. Oh yeah, or kids. No work to do as far as I could see. Just move in and enjoy. $284,900.
Hurry up and call JonCar @ 845-831-3331.

WOW! We are in the process of (hopefully) buying a 1905 3 br in LA for the same price, but it is not anywhere near as lovely! It is run down with a terrible layout and is currently serving as a home to at least 10 people and several pets, none of whom have paid rent for the last year, apparently. Wish I had a reason to live in Beacon! Good luck!
Oh, you couldn’t go near an entire house for that price in any of the boros, but Beacon is only an hour away.
Good luck with your purchase…but if it doesn’t work out….come to Beacon!
[…] one in the photo above was written up here back in June. They’ve since lowered the price. It’s worth a look, […]
