Cool looking old house, are there demons in the attic or something?

No need to see the inside, it is in pristine condition. Trust me

Its a shame FF has to sell his home. But i told him that crack is whack but he just could not put down the pipe. Also, there is no cold water release so the entire area is going to hell in a hand basket:devious:

The roof is shot. Water damage is apparent.

Too bad. Interior Stickley/Art & Crafts influence could really be a nice place if you had the tme, money and of course a different location. I could see that place all re-done and looking great in a place like Asbury Park where they are fixing up similar structures.

Might be wrong but I heard that you cant get insurance for those houses on that side of the dikes ever since the flood. They had to do a new flood zone survey and as a result, thats what came out of it. May not be true, but I was looking at a place up stream and thats what I was told. My deal was a purchase not an auction so I dont know if that had anything to do with it. Jim S. would know if that is true if anyone was interested.

Only that the gay community has really done some great work with the old houses down there. I have an architect friend that only does high end work and he opened another office there because of the available work in that area restoring the old houses.
I would bet that the woodwork in that house is chestnut and some of that cabinetry is quarter sawn oak.
Like I said too bad an old house like that just goes down the tubes.

that place looks like a luxury home compared to my cabin up there when we first bought it. It took us 2 years just to make it livable and we had mice crawling all over the place the first night.Got bit by a wolf spider in my sleep which wasn't fun either.That said, a work in progress type of place like that could be fun to fix up over time and make it your own.

If I was lucky enough to own a home like that in East Branch I'd be on cloud nine. I'd fish whenever I wanted and maybe even open a fishing b&b. I'd become a guide because it seems like a really good decision to make my living based upon the whims of the water lords of NYC. HEAVEN!

But in all seriousness...
$10,000....(and a couple of more bids, sure)
A couple ten more and some hard work...
Then a lifetime of great weekends and vacations(and a lifetime of ny property taxes).

The reality and Fantasy of an Old Victorian are worlds apart unless you have very deep pockets ,and in that case you wouldn't buy that house in East branch. That home looks like a money pit without even looking past the roof and water damage. We were going to buy the East Branch motel about a year ago for $75k. The sellers attorney ,who is also a local magistrate sabatoged my deal and tried to buy it himself. I turned someone on to it with very deep pockets that shook him off the deal and he bought it .In retrospect I'm glad we didn't buy it. It would have been a money pit that never made money and the taxes were $10k a year.
