This historic mansion with a rum-running past isn't selling.

Here's what's being done to lure a buyer
The $3M Low-Martin house has been on the market since 2022. The owner thinks the city should look at buying it

Might be some bodies buried in or around the house. No thanks. I'll bet it's interesting though.

Wow!

Yeah, or hotel.

I think Windsor should buy it. I think they'd make their money back in a few years or so. And it would keep generating money if it's properly maintained and staffed.

(I know nothing about the surrounding area, tho)

Interesting looking attractive mansion-- almost has a fantasy look about it.
But if I had $3M to spend on a house, I wouldn't want it to in that locale.

“You can’t help but love this house.” I agree with him.

Looks like a cross between Saratoga Springs/Gilded Age and an English country home… But the heating bills must be astronomical

It's a great looking place. The locale is.... well , the house needs to be on lots of acreage. A 100 year old mansion is the definition of "money pit".

 

[GoneFishin]

Yep the locale is not someplace I would buy a mansion

The outside is creepy looking IMO. The inside....too dark. Not my style anyway. I love sleek and modern.
