Congrats on your offer. My father's house in Deep Creek has been on the market since Halloween. We had an offer within two days of listing, but then it was rescinded the following week. Since then it has been crickets. Layout and dated bathrooms have been the culprit apparently...along with the ask. What a frustration it is settling an estate from afar.

My uncle had one of these older gems (circa 1963) over on Marion just after the yacht club in PG. Beautiful (but tired) house on a canal that was a 5 minute hop into the bay. It was marketed as a teardown in 2018 after he passed and was scooped up by a NYC couple who are doing a period restoration.
