This listing at 329 Adelphi Street makes us wish we had both the means and the time for a renovation project! The Civil War-era wood house has lots of original detail, according to the listing, but needs a head-to-toe restoration. (Even if the interior is a wreck, we still wish the brokers would include a few more photos.) The condition isn’t a huge surprise given that the house hasn’t changed hands in 40 years! We’ve heard from a couple of people who’ve already looked at it and the consensus seems to be that, while an incredible house, the asking price of $950,000 is very high given the amount of dough that will need to be sunk into this place.

The place next door sold for $1,457,000 in 2007, and needed a fair bit of renovation work. It was a larger place though, I think, and never looked as neglected as #329.
Imagine what a stunning garden you could do on that corner lot!
Dibs, would love to hear update tomorrow about fireplaces. Olea Meditterian Taverna is across the street if you’re in need of quick drink/bite after the walk thru.
And pictures, DIBS! take pictures!
dibs…it would be great if you could post a follow up tomorrow after your viewing!
Maly…I’m operating for now, under the assumption that the exterior is in good enought shape to clean/strip/repaint. Yes, windows will need to be replaced but that’s expected. Aside from the windows, nothing else needs to be replaced except the front steps and railings. These are atandard issues with LPC. Tey get ornery when “changes” are proposed.
Dave, keep us updated tomorrow about your walk through.
It’s really charming. I think it will be very expensive to renovate because it’s all exposed and on a corner. Everything will have to be on the up and up.
