That’s what I think of as a “big old house”. Looks like it needs some work. Besides clearing some shrubbery, what did they do to double the price since 2007, while the assessment stayed the same?

Looks like they’ve probably put a lot of money into the exterior.

You’re right, according to some of the PDF’s I read, a guy bought it and has been doing some serious restoration on the exterior, including painting it in period paint colors, new roof and doing some interior work as well.

Isn’t it? I’d want to just sit in front of it and stare at it a while.
