Nearly Untouched 1829 Townhouse in Historic Center City Philadelphia $550K
IT’S ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF, that a grand 1829 townhouse like this, now on the market (<- Sotheby’s listing with many more photos) for only $550K in a primo Philly neighborhood, should remain in such antique condition to the present day. Not that the … Continue reading

1720s Connecticut Colonial 160K
