[Hpsd-rennet] Listing our 1913 Durham Farmhouse (on 12.8 acres)

[Ellen Dagenhart]

Ramon,

I am so sorry to hear that you all are leaving. I can only imagine 
how much you have enjoyed your home. I'm familiar with the property, 
and it is indeed special. One idea for you to consider to protect 
your home for years to come is to place protective covenants on all 
or part of the property. Preservation Durham has assisted other 
homeowners in doing this, and will be happy to help you to tailor the 
covenants to your situation. I can tell you anecdotally that the 
presence of the covenants has not been an impediment in selling 
houses, if that is a concern. We wish you well in your transition and 
if Preservation Durham can help, please call 682-3036. I'm copying 
John Compton, Executive Director on this message.

Best regards,
Ellen
