Well, the estimates are in ... And I have a tough decision to make. For each of you who have been kind enough to "like" our page & our posts ... What would you do?

Left to right, our exterior sections are from east to west: 1800's combination of stone & ship lathe, the middle 1760, thick stone walls with stone smoothed over, the last of the trilogy built in 1920 has cedar lumber with areas that need repair. We have three choices: (1) to be consistent, do spot repairs, scrape all the wood, sand, prime and repaint - (2) metal or vinyl siding or (3) discount the highest estimate off comps and let next buyer decide?

Redoing all the wood would cost a lot more and take a lot longer, but engineered siding would give her a beautiful face ... Would buyers want to choose their own options or just have a "move in" exterior?

What would you do?

Classified as historical, but NO LIMITATIONS or RESTRICTIONS other than if you make major changes, will need to come up to current codes - meanwhile setbacks and all other original work (like spiral stairs) are all grandfathered in. For home square footage, barn, out buildings and size of lot, property taxes are lower than expected at $6105.
