“This property ⁤being‍ very unique obviously and coming ⁢with two residences under⁣ the one roofline did make it a‍ bit of a gem, so not comparable to other homes in the market,” Thomas explained. He further elaborated ‍on the nature of the sale, stating, ⁢”It was a bit of old-school real estate, in that… someone’s vision for the home was going to determine its value.” This‍ suggests that the ⁣buyer saw significant potential and a unique lifestyle opportunity ‍in the property, rather then simply a standard investment.
