I want to buy this house! It's gorgeous and I just love everything about it. Here's the thing though... It's older than the US Constitution! Yup, built in 1780. What are the odds of it being haunted?!? Would you live in a house this old?
deleted-user·
It's beautiful.
I'm scared of old houses! I lived in one but it was not haunted! ?
deleted-user·
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the constitution signed in 1776?
deleted-user·
Omg! Can I bring my rocking chair or my Adirondack recliner?
It looks amazing. I would not be afraid of ghost. Or should I say...I ain't 'fraid of no ghost.
deleted-user·
Ps the house is gorgeous! I would be afraid of ghosts though lol
deleted-user·
I'm not a fan of raised foundations, but it is really gorgeous. I don't believe in ghosts and as long as it's been updated, I'd live there. How much is it?
deleted-user·
If it wasn't built in 1993 then you should be fine! ??
Either way that house looks gorgeous and I would totally live there.
deleted-user·
I would totally live there. The only time I get afraid of there being ghosts is when the inside of the house looks super old. So a few renovations and I'd be set. I ain't fraid of no ghosts either genty!
And if there are ghosts, who ya gonna call?!
deleted-user·
Don't you know any house older than 1993 is haunted? I mean seriously yuck!!
On a serious note, I think it is gorgeous and I would definitely live there

@kirby- The Constitution was signed in 1787. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. ?
ETA - To remember which came first, we cut ties with the Brits FIRST (DoI) and THEN came up with rules to live by (Constitution).

I wouldn't dh watches to many haunting shows! I would freak over every like creek and wind noise!
deleted-user·
Thanks kosh! 2 degrees later and neither of them in us history....lol dh would be very disappointed in me for not knowing that fun fact about my own country! Good thing you guys can keep my secret ?
deleted-user·
Ahh, it's the Declaration of Independence that was signed in 1776. You were on the right track Kirby lol
deleted-user·

Totally as long as it had central ac lol
deleted-user·
Bahahaha fetch, thanks. I knew it was something important!
deleted-user·
I had to google it ?? lol
Ashley Roan·
No Kirby, that was the Declaration of Independence, which was written and signed in 1776 after we won the American Revolution.
The constitution was written during the Philadelphia convention in 1787.
Huge History channel watcher over here! ✋?
deleted-user·
I would totally live in a house this old. So long as it had central a/c and a modern furnace.
deleted-user·
OP - there's no such thing as ghosts. It's a beautiful piece of history that I wouldn't mind having. I say go for it!
Ashley Roan·
Sorry, didn't see Kosh's response!
deleted-user·
the declaration was written BEFORE the revolution. It declared to the world WHY we were revolting.
The house is gorgeous! Idc about ghosts, give me the house lol
deleted-user·
It looks creepy but maybe because I watch too many scary films.
deleted-user·
Kirby, don't be too hard on yourself. I minored in history and I happen to be fascinated by the revolutionary war.
Ashley Roan·
That's what I love about it. There is SO much history here! It backs up to an old mill that used to be part of the original property.
This house and the land (just over 1 acre) is $225K. The few pictures of the inside look gorgeous, although it does need some updating.
deleted-user·
We were actually already fighting the British when we finally declared independence... But we kept fighting for several years after the declaration was signed.
deleted-user·
Could we please see inside??? ??
Ashley Roan·
The Revolutionary War started in 1775, so it was "declared" during the war.
deleted-user·
Um yes I would move in in a heartbeat! I love old houses. The older the better. I've never seen a house around here that old!
Ashley Roan·
My bad for saying after, I meant during.
Ashley Roan·
I could post a few, kosh!
deleted-user·
It looks like the house from the Notebook i want it ?
Ashley Roan·
Omg, Nena! It does!!
Ashley Roan·
@Kosh - I posted a few more pictures for you.
deleted-user·
I wouldn't live there. I'm pretty convinced it's haunted lol.
deleted-user·
The 1993 thing... There was a post a little while ago about if we would be creeped out living in a house built in 1993 because it was so old.
Ashley Roan·
That's my husbands concern, how much work it needs! I'd be down for it though. I HATE how they just keep tearing these beauties down! We've been having the hardest time finding an old house to fix up that's on at least an acre.
We did find one a few weeks ago, gorgeous and renovated farm house built in 1890 on 25 acres! It got snatched up though! ?
deleted-user·
I would live there in a heartbeat!!
And you can't beat that price!! It's gorgeous!
My house was built in 1908 so old houses don't scare me!
deleted-user·
I wouldn't worry about it being haunted... I'd hate to keep up with the cleaning in something that big! Lol
deleted-user·
Wow. That's inexpensive!!! Buy it!!!! I love old houses like these! ?
deleted-user·
It's gorgeous ! In London we can barely get a 2 bedroom flat for that price . Go for it (a lot properties in London are super duper old and I have yet to experience a ghost) good luck xx
deleted-user·
Reminds me of the house Noah built in The Notebook ?
deleted-user·
Id buy it.
Definitely get an idea about what is or isn't updated though. As that can definitely add some cost, and should be taken into consideration when/if you decide to make an offer.
deleted-user·
I love old homes. ??
Ashley Roan·
@carolina - I don't think it's as big as it looks. It says 2300 square feet. My current home is 3200 and it certainly is a b**** to clean! :-)
deleted-user·
I love this house!! I bet it has an amazing history!!! I would totally put an offer on it if I could afford it!!
deleted-user·
I want to buy it too! Amazing house!
deleted-user·
So buy it
