The architecture of the carriage house is quaint although in need of a restoration to bring out its charm to full potential. Someone said it was "creepy" to which I'd at least say it comes off as being a bit too dingy in its present state. It will never become a mansion – nor should someone seek to enlarge it for that purpose – but as an interesting retreat it would fit the bill perfectly. With additional stables (which likely haven't been used in years) possibly becoming a guest cottage you start to make this into a lovely compound complete with pond, etc.

That amount of land in Matinecock is significant as anything over 5 acres is very generous. One could do a lot to enhance this offering while still keeping it size appropriate and refined. An example of a similar offering, restored, from Aiken SC:

On the point raised with the picture presentation change for Luxist I have to fully agree - the new way is a pain and discourages user from spending the time looking at all the pictures. ]]>Aug 31st 2007 11:37AM
