Another house worth looking at...

Contrary to what some have said, Elvis Presley was not sighted here in 1996.

This little cabin on the Potomac River would work. The owner did a great deal of planning as he laid out the gardens, and I'm told that he was able to catch upwards of a million pounds of herring from the river each year. That amazes me -- I didn't know herring would travel this far upstream during their annual run.

It comes complete with a smokehouse and stables, and although the interior could use a little updating (I'd probably add running water and maybe even electricity), it would be a fine place to live.

More reasons to buy that house...



I'm almost sure the house is not wired for cable, so I'd probably add a Direct TV antenna to the roof.

I want to buy this house



A great trip to Virginia week before last. I couldn't find this house, with its beautiful gardens, in the Multiple Listing Service, but I'm sure the owner will eventually want to sell. And I'll be ready.
