Letting Go of a Dream: Why We're Parting with Our Beloved 1902 Queen Anne

The thing about plans is that they change. When we first saw this house, even though it was condemned for lead based paint and in major disrepair, we fell in love. We bought it in January 2021, were excited to restore it, and make it our primary place of residence once we became empty nesters in fall of 2024.

Shortly after we purchased the house and started to work on it, my father went into hospice and I became his primary caregiver which as you can imagine slowed down the restoration. Fast forward a few years and the house will just not be ready for us in time to sell our current residence and make the move we planned to make 4 years ago.

While it saddens us deeply, we have made the decision to sell the house. This decision wasn’t made lightly but taking our current/future plans into consideration as we’re heading into retirement, and the amount of time it will still take to be able to fix all the issues which keeps the house from being inhabitable, no longer fits our timeframe and we need to think of what is the best big picture for our family.

Annie, as we affectionately call her is a 1902 Queen Anne with a rich history. Built by Eli Greensfelder, it had changed hands many times but has many original features.

Many of these pictures below are prior to clean-up and painting but the listing has some great after pictures.

It still needs some work to get uncondemed but it's a great house.

***Disclaimer - the floor plan is wrong. It does not have a bedroom on the first floor. I have asked the realtor to fix that.
