We have a truly special house in Pt Washington that we are looking to sell. The house must be moved, so if someone has a vacant lot and would like a fun project house, this would be great. The house is totally cypress on the exterior (the wood has never been painted) and the floors are pine. We think the house is at least 60 years old. We have had offers from cabinet and floor people to take the house apart and use the materials...but we think the house has so much potential for someone that is willing to move it and do some work on it. The bathroom would probably have to be redone. The house is special and has been a part of Pt Washington history...by the way, there are several lots in the Pt Washington area for sale for great prices right now. We will consider any and all reasonable offers. PM me for details.

Yes, the church is going to build a Family Life Center and eventually a new sanctuary on the land.
What???
Didn't on the 8th day God say "Let there be Condos?"
Even though it's a bummer that the little house as gotta go, it's refreshing to hear that it's not to make room for an "upscale" stripmall, a McMansion or :shock: more condos.
Hats off to you for trying to preserve it.

Might it qualify for the National Historic Registry?

Much as I wish it would, it's probably not old enough. Historic, in my eyes, yes but probably doesn't meet the guidelines.
I fail to see why the church (and I'm a member) needs THAT much land, unless they are still planning a new sanctuary in addition to the Family Life Center. It was my understanding that the sanctuary plans had been scrapped in favor of a Family Life Center, but I am beginning to think I was fed a line because they know that I and the few remaining lifelong members are against it.

I bought a house in 1999 and had it moved by Ducky for 13,500 CASH, paid considerably less than 20,000 for it, and started what seemed like the next Jihad!!!! A war! Better know where you are taking it! There's lots of self appointed code and building inspectors with nothing better to do than ride around looking for something they think is suspicious, irrelevant to the fact that they really have no idea what they are doing!

I can't afford it but wish I could. I would put it on our lot next to Cafe Tango and fix it up. If someone is interested, I'll sell the lot real cheap. It would be in keeping with the look of Cafe Tango.

I don't have the funds or a lot. I surely wish I did, as this house is central to old Point Washington.
At one point, PWUMC had planned to give the house to my uncle, because his mother lived in the house for many years and to also keep it in the church's founding family. He was planning to have it moved to property he owns adjacent to the church's property. It was the PERFECT solution. Then, suddenly it seemed as if someone within the church got greedy, because it turned into "pay $xx,xxx and then pay almost that to have it moved." It busted the deal.
Berkly, no offense to you, because surely you bought it with good intentions, and I really hope somebody can buy it from you. But, it just makes me sick that this historical property was DONATED by the Burlison estate to the church, and then someone got the bright idea of SELLING it to you. Perhaps that person (or the church) should do the right thing and buy it back from you, and give it back to Point Washington.
I worship at PWUMC, and plan to always, but some of the decisions they have made concerning the expansion really breaks my heart.

$5000 for Pt Washington house that must be moved off lot
Thought I would start a new thread with the lower price for the Burlison house in Pt Washington....we are willing to accept $5K for the house, which must be moved. This is our last attempt before selling the various parts of the house that are wanted (floors, exterior cypress, interior walls, etc). If you know of anyone with a vacant lot that would be interested in this special piece of history, please let them know! Thank you!!!

NoHall would love it for her playhouse. We just have to find a place for her to park it.
I know I know, my yard is big enough. But we would drive her nuts.

Re: $5000 for Pt Washington house that must be moved off lot
Currently I live between my parents and...um...not sure how to describe my other neighbors. (Inventory: 4 huge fishing boats, 3 dead cars, 2 PODS, a dead truck with a dead freezer in the back, a dead tiller with flowers planted around it by the pool, and a big tank full of blue back herring, which are sold at all hours of the night despite the lack of zoning and licensing for it.)
I think your back yard would be tame. If not, I have earplugs.
Maybe I could just get one of those tiny little houses on wheels...
