• An opinion — take it for what it’s worth: The LLC that’s flipping this house wants you to believe they’ve been “able to keep all of the original, wonderful characteristics” of this historic home, but the details tell a different story. It’s a fix-and-flip job that sacrifices historic character with cheap materials — a front door from Lowe’s; sloppy patching of the porch floor with deck boards where the original tongue-and-groove flooring needed to be replaced; cheap replacement windows; vinyl siding. Tearing out walls to create an open floor plan doesn’t maintain the historic character, either. And that’s just what can be seen from the listing’s photos.
  • At least they didn’t replace the hardwood floors with cheap “luxury” vinyl (though they didn’t refinish them, either, which is something you should expect at such a high price). They didn’t paint the masonry, a bad move currently in fashion with house flippers. But that’s faint praise.
  • Add it all up and it’s hard to avoid the impression that these people don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to restoring historic houses, which is probably true, or that this sale is a just cynical money-grab, which also may be true (bought for $90,000, asking $400,000). Either way, for $230 per square foot – a rich price even by the rapidly inflating standards of Mebane today — a buyer deserves better.

Crevensten, who apparently rented it out for the next 10 years.
  • Sidney F. Marsh Jr. (ca. 1907-1998) and Sara Louise Johnston Marsh (born ca. 1914) bought the house in 1955 and owned it for 41 years. Sidney was assistant director of industrial relations for Burlington Industries.
