MODVIC


The owners of Modvic kindly invited all the Realtors in our area (200+) to a Broker Open House at the property on Wednesday. I got there early and parked on the next street anticipating parking issues. Silly, little girl scout me, always prepared. Exactly 10 people showed up and 8 were from my office. Aren't we good?? And we have two Antique Home Experts. I have capitalized this because I am one of them ( the other did not attend...she had 2 closings that day...boo, hiss). The pictures are not nearly as good as I would have liked, but my excuse is that it was just hard with even 10 people roaming about and the tour was fairly regimented...no wandering off to explore and take pictures on my own until the end. The house is gorgeous, very expensive ( no home has sold for this much money in town ...ever) and it is clear that no detail has been overlooked. If you want to see more or read about the history of the property or read the restoration blog just click on the link, OK? Alright, enough already, just show the pictures!

  8. What great pictures and yes, I will be making an offer. I think I will offer them 25, 000 over their asking price just to make sure. After all, I received 17 more offers of free money this week!

    The details of this place are awesome.

    What a fun tour!

    Love,

  9. Just how much???????

    It's a beauty Janet - love everything they've done to modernize yet keep the Victorian look. The exterior paint is amazing - this is definitely a 'painted lady'. We have a section in Raleigh with many houses like this - all gorgeous and usually on the annual Xmas Tour - they are fabulous then.

    Hope your FIL improves and all will be well soon.

    Loved the 'blonde joke' - I used to be one too, until I found redheads have the most fun!
