for JEAN BOGGIO -- RENOVATOR

New Living Room at West Allen Street

REHABBING, RENOVATING -- old houses and myself -- is my focus for the next decade of my life. As a single older woman, the rest of my life will be an adventure. My philosophy is keep moving so they don't get you. (It's hard to hit a moving target). Follow me as I buy, move into, and renovate various old houses with good bones, making them beautiful again for new owners. 

I'm now following a passion that has been running through my life but lying submerged beneath the surface while I followed other trails. Now is the time to live my passion. Follow my adventures on Under the Maine Sun -- access through the left sidebar.

This is the new little house in Hendersonville. Expect to see its metamorphosis and return to the market in April 2011.

Check out my BLOG http://eminentdomainlady.typepad.com/mainesun for my adventures as an older single woman, first moving to Maine and establishing a new life. Along the way I renovate a 175 year-old house, find a job (at age 65), meet the neighbors (a story in itself) and build new friendships. That was Part I.

Now we're at Part II. I'm now age 72 and selling the house in Maine. I've already bought a new old house (1914) in Mountain Home, NC -- between Hendersonville and Asheville in the western tail. The focus is on selling the Maine house and the renovation of the NC property -- as well as miscellaneous thoughts and observations as they occur to me. There are new things to do and friends to be met. Read UNDER THE MAINE SUN for the ongoing saga.

I look forward to hearing from you using my CONTACT page and your comments on my blog.

Thanks for checking in.
