Check this out ... and other homes like these are for sale ... at very reasonable prices! <http://www.seequincy.com/PrivateHomeTours_Gallery.pdf>
(Note: you may need to view link at 100% size to open. Mine needs to be changed from 102% to 100%, then it pops up.)
The 20 Quincy Illinois homes on the attached link just scratch the surface. Quincy and the surrounding villages and farms offer hundreds of choices. Amazing architecture, plenty of room and reasonably priced. Quincy and the surrounding environs are a great place to retire to - a small Midwest university town with great medical facilities and easy drive (or short hop by air) to St. Louis. Compared to the big city there are virtually no crowds, no traffic, or crime, and a slower pace, but great restaurants, museums, and music with four seasons and welcoming Midwestern people.
As for historic houses, the area has plenty. Real stone masons and brick masons and wood workers, most from Germany, completed hundreds of homes for well known architects at the turn of the 19th century for the lumber and brewing barons of the day. Some need nurturing, some have simply been preserved. Many have all the latest amenities in addition.
See one you want that isn't listed? I'll knock on the door and ask if its available.
Tired of all those years in Vegas, LA, or the big city where you are? Looking for a pleasant change?
If you are looking to retire, you should check this out! Call me.
