The most discerning of homeowners might be interested to know about the Granary, an old home in New England which was recently listed as being for sale.
The statement concerning how it is an older house is true in the sense of the building’s history after its original construction in 1840, but the building date doesn’t give a true sense of how impeccably the home has been maintained over the years and how it has been renovated and refurbished to assure it’s kept at the height of modern architectural technology with features which might typically only be expected in newer buildings.
The house is well worth the $20 million dollar price tag, set by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the company endorsed by the last owner, Melva Brooks, who ran the property as both a home and museum.
