If I was younger, this would be a place I would consider. It needs a lot of TLC, a strong back and a good-sized reno budget, but having a home based business in the barn could help with the reno budget. I would get rid of the pool right away as it's a liability and adds maintenance costs to the budget. For this property, the new owning might as well just outright buy a bush-hog and enjoy clearing the property a little at a time her/himself.
Green pool water could have medicinal benefits- particularly if you spent any significant amount of your childhood as a tadpole.
Wish I could live in a snow state. I would refurbish this to it's former glory!!
Depending upon the location - I would turn the barn into a retail vintage/antique shop.
Why don't you ever post an asking price for the properties you show us?
Maybe he earns a living by us clicking on the link below to look at all of the properties.
The bonus room off the bedroom is called a sitting room. The house has a lot of potential! The dining room furniture looks like it might be worth something.
I call dibs! 😄
@@SpotTheBorgCat I saw it first!

Looks like there is an old marble sink in the upstairs bathroom w/ the claw foot tub...The tub and marble sink should definitely be saved.
Beautiful place, great tree, leave it alone. Need multiple dumpster refills, full gut to kitchen and the rest of house, some foundation work, savable floors maybe, new windows, new plumbing, wiring, furnace, roof. Home hasn't been kept up with, but they do not build houses like this anymore, if one has some money and time and a love for our history a good buy for the right price.
I mean it's cool but honestly that looks like 10 years worth of sweat equity and countless dollars to bring it back to its former glory. Restored that house would be amazing and people would tossing money to buy it.
This would be a great opportunity for this old house project
Absolutely worth the investment.
Creepy, creepy, creepy
Seeing just how beautiful the houses were back then especially the clawfoot tub and marble sink I can just imagine the beautiful wood cabinets that would have been in the kitchen from long ago. Why in the world would anyone “update” the house and put in that kitchen? That carpeting? I’m glad they kept the fire places and wall scones but still…. Just.. why?? 🤦♀️ I know everyone had different styles but to purposely take out how elegant that home was when first built. I wish houses like this was still a thing 😔 such beauty. Thank you foreclosure finder!
@13:45 as your talking about the basement being creepy something fastly whispers “To Bad”… I had to slow it down the speed because I thought I was hearing things. Did you get a creepy vibe on the main floor also?
Not to be "that guy," but as an architectural historian this is in general terms "Victorian." Kind of plain builder-grade for its day. Look at the rounded triple attic windows on the facade, and original newel post on staircase. To be true "Colonial" it would have to date to 1776 or before, when we were British colonies.
That said...it is true that at the time of the Centennial, 1876, a new style arose known later as "Colonial Revival." That went through various iterations mainly through the 1980s, each with distinct characteristics. Very popular in New England but also in the South.
This house is not Colonial Revival as built. However, as you note, the kitchen appears to be an addition. The interior with decorative timber beams and the stained wood cabinets *are* Colonial Revival, probably 1960s vintage.
I love tours of vintage properties. Even with pants I still worry about everyone walking through the tall grass.
It would be a major retro fit of the whole house and eventually the barn and drain the pool. It could be a safety issue or at least remove the chance of becoming a triple E problem. But that basement is a major problem. Add a French drain and replace the foundation and add a modern HAVC system,plus bring in a set up for a whole property backup generator.
I believe I saw an oil painting in the dining room, would like more information about that.
I sure hope someone buys and saves this beautiful home and barn I love that oversize tree!
The wet moldy basement is a deal breaker
Right. Everything was somewhat fixable/tolerable until the basement.
I agree that basement is a nightmare and stone foundations are a nightmare !
How do people leave all their belongings like that?
Did you ever post the other Chester house on your site? I never saw it.
How do they get the tank in and out of the basement?
500 grand couldn’t help that place
DIBS everything in the dining room! (G)
