Lovely raised 3/1.5 home in EEHD. Question about actual date of house Cad has it built in 1896, previous sellers and refrences claim 1907 .The Thomas Bollinger family maintained ownership until 1948, when they sold to Alice A. Mullen who owned the property until 1987. Because the property has so few owners, the house has managed to stay largely intact and retains most of its original design. Architecturally, the house represents the transition between High Victorian and Queen Anne. Double galleries, lots of light walk thru windows artistically crafted wood floors add to its charm. The home boasts an updated kitchen and upstairs bath. The 1/2 bath downstairs could easily incorporate a shower (in fact a shower fixture and tile for the project will stay with the house they are the same fixtures as the upstairs bath). An anamoly in a historic home is that all windows open! Appliances and rug in upstairs bedroom conveys. Fenced in yard. Walkable to most of the Island finest attractions!

A Message from Tom Schwenk - Broker/Owner

Don’t miss this update: BUYER AGREEMENTS BECOME MANDATORY

There is a lot of discussion about realtor commissions following the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement.

We all have questions and there will more more change on the horizon as realtors, the Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, and lenders all respond. I’ve written a message for my clients that encapsulates my thoughts to date. I believe in clear and open communication and will provide updates as I know more. You can read my thoughts here.

One thing I’m certain of, in this time of change it is more important than ever to work with a licensed professional who has your best interests at heart!
