Preservation and investment drive interest in historic homes
You can find two-story, three-bedroom cottages from 1910 for about $165,000. Four-bedroom brick, one-and-a-half story homes from 1946 are priced around $230,000 and are located close to Kennedy Square East – a widely-anticipated new development. It will offer a re-imagined approach to modern growth by offering both public and affordable housing of different sizes from single-family homes, to duplexes and townhomes. The project will also offer some mixed-use buildings with commercial space, readily accessible to residents. Enhancement, preservation and investment are the buzz words for this project. As Tina Sempeck with eXp Realty explains, “Early 20th century homes are popular with investors, preservationists and old home-lovers. In fact, when they come on the market, they are often well-updated or fully-renovated, which delights buyers.”
