Realtor Comments

Growing up at 500 Church St. in Stamps offered a home in the center of it all. Easily walk downtown to the bank, shops, post office or cafe. Ride your bicycle to any place in town, including Jimmy’s Drive-In or nearby Lake June. The home is adjacent to the community baseball field where you can cheer the little ones on and enjoy a hotdog from the concession stand. And, of course, living on Church St. means your Sunday service is within steps of your front door – with options to suit. When I grew up in the home, you might often find countless aspiring majorettes twirling batons in the yard as they received lessons from my mom. My friends and I spent hours in the expansive backyard building forts, tumbling, practicing dance and cheer routines and dreaming under a peaceful starry night about our futures. Stamps and this house offered a central hub of activity coupled with the quiet reflection and star gazing that is best experienced in a small town. Consider being the next caretaker of this home. The old girl has more good years remaining — with the right owner — who takes pride in the history of a place and can see the potential in historic homes. If you prefer vinyl windows and vinyl siding – this might not be the spot for you. 🙂
