Romantic describes this house. And historic. Featured in Whitelaw's Parker Place, built in 1815, was once a girls' dorm for St Margaret's Academy. Original wainscoting, heart of pine floors, doors and 2 fireplaces. The gracious foyer is being used as the owner's office. Full attic. And the basement is a history lesson unto itself. New stone driveway, 15K of new windows. State of the art shed is artist's studio, man cave, bunk house for grandchildren, tinkerers central? Or just a shed. For an old house, this has great storage says the owner. Should you be interested, she designs kitchens and bathrooms and has plans ready. Teachers can roll out of bed to the school across the street, hospital types can be at work in Onancock in 8 minutes. Great location. Come explore this historic treasure.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
