From charming Richmond, VA to family-friendly Columbia, SC, these six homes that are anything but ordinary
The spring housing market is in full swing! If your city is anything like Charlotte, new homes are coming on the market daily, and there’s a lot of excitement around warmer weather and the change a new season brings.
While none of these homes are in Charlotte, I have some really special ones to share this month. I’ve searched for timeless homes along the East Coast plus one in Green Bay, WI (random, I know! but just wait until you see it) to bring you charming move-in ready homes and homes with amazing character ready for the next owner to make it their own.
See what $2,000,000 can buy you — from an in-town Richmond, VA historic home to a waterfront Colonial along the Chesapeake Bay.
Scroll for some of the best real estate listings on the market today for under $2,000,000 (and one under $1,000,000).
