FOR SALE — 107 S. Blangford, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath
Originally built in 1910, this beautiful home was converted into three condominiums less than ten years ago, but it still feels like new construction! It features an open floor plan, high-end finishes, and wide plank, solid oak floors throughout. Originally built by a sharecropper to accommodate his small family, your family will love the third of the house that’s currently for sale! Please note that the other half of the half bath is technically on your neighbor Jerry’s property, but there is a privacy curtain.
Price: $800,000
FOR SALE — 13 Wintorb, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath
This sprawling neo-eclectic 3,500 sq. ft. home was built in 2008. Featuring a massive foyer, plenty of windows, two enormous staircases, and a kitchen fit for a cooking show, this home was built by a former employee of Lehman Brothers who only lived in it for a few months before moving on. Everything above the first floor remains uncompleted, but the bare wood and insulation will provide a perfect canvas for personalizing your dream home. If you’re a fan of the Halloween aesthetic, you’ll love the tombstone in the backyard! It’s the final resting place of the original owner and its placement was one of the stipulations of his divorce settlement.
Price: $2.3 million
FOR SALE — 39 Charmgate, 3 bedroom, 2 bath

FOR SALE — Your house, on your street
We hate that you had to find out this way, but a real estate developer just bought your house and he’s kicking you out. Worse still, he’s opening a bar down the street that serves something called “molecular cocktails,” so there’s no way you can afford to live anywhere near here. If you’re nice to the new owner on your way out, he might teach you how bitcoin works.
