Take this house, please: You can buy this $640K historic home for $29K, but there’s a catch

MANCHESTER, NH โ€” For sale: One amazing Victorian mansion, a historical treasure with all the ornate bells and whistles. Assessed at $639,900, but you can walk away with it for just $29,900.

Or drive away with it, or have it air-lifted. But the point here is, you buy it, you move it.

That’s right, this gem at 147 Walnut Street โ€” the Chandler House โ€” is up for grabs but the buyer must agree to move it from its current location to make way for a parking lot for the church next door.

It was built in 1878 and features 30 rooms with three fireplaces, and a chapel. And on Oct. 21 it was announced as one of the state’s 2015 “Seven to Save.”

Greg Barrett of Kas-Bar Realty says the possibilities for repurposing the former convent are endless โ€”residential, commercial, office, lodging or civic organizational uses.

It’s being sold “as is” and based on the photos (see the slideshow above) there’s a lot to love about this house, and it can all be yours, for less than 30 grand.

Manchester’s Bishop has set a sale deadline of Nov. 30.
