Sigh. But seriously, won’t someone please buy my house?
Graham and I knew, when we made the difficult decision to move away from our beloved heritage home to be closer to family, that it would be tough to find the right buyer. Not everyone is interested – or equipped with the right combination of crazy and persistent – in buying an old home, especially a 200-year-old one. But we figured that, just like we did, someone would walk in and fall in love with the unique house and the beautiful but manageable property.
Alas, thus far, nine months on the market, and no luck.
So, here I am, writing a blog post, wondering if someone reading, somewhere in the world, might want to own their own small piece of Virginia Piedmont paradise.
I thought that we were forever, this wonderful old home and me, but sometimes things don’t work out, and it has nothing to do with how much you love each other. And so now it’s time for someone else to step in and mend the broken heart I’ve left behind.
I mean, there’s someone out there for everyone, right? And every house??
I believe in love. Somebody show up, please, and prove me right.

Thank you! We put a lot of love and time and effort into making it our home. It was so hard to leave. But I do still believe that someone will come along who will love it just as much.

For some reason, it always seemed like you were out in the country, as in not with next door neighbors! I looked it up on the map after checking the realtor link. The photographs of the house after your renovations are just beautiful, and I can imagine it was hard to leave after all the work you put in.

We were in the best of both worlds, really. Aldie is a small village in the countryside. We had expansive mountains views and open sky, and also great neighbors to hang out with and call if we needed anything. We miss it every day. And it was so hard to leave! But it’s been great watching Lucy get to know her grandparents and play at the beach and meet other kids. But yeah, I wish I could just be in two places at once.

Thank you! I appreciate it! We loved it, and still love it, and we’re grateful to have been able to live there and take care of it for almost a decade. I really hope someone comes along who will treat it just as well. Fingers crossed!

When I click on the title of the post and look at just that page, I see them below the last picture – X and Facebook. Maybe a WordPress issue? I really appreciate you trying!
