The weather today was beautiful (the past several days have been dreary and drizzly), and as I was up early (gasp!), I decided to take a walk through the historic district along Gilmore Street. Gilmore Street is where the wealthiest of the railroad barons built their homes over a century ago, back when Waycross was in its heyday. While some of the houses on Gilmore have fallen into disrepair over the years, there are still many to gawk at... and several that are up for sale, if anyone is interested! The pictures below are of houses on Gilmore which are for sale. (No, I am NOT a realtor or affiliated with one in any way; I just feel like people should be aware of how far their money can go if they move to Waycross. Hint, hint.) Let's start with this house:
Actually, it no longer looks anything like this picture,
which I took in July 2006, as they've totally remodeled it.
See the image below for its current look!
It's hard to believe it's the same house as the one in the picture above, isn't it? I couldn't get a good shot from the front, as the contractor's truck was parked there. They're asking $329,000 for it - which is a rather absurd sum for Waycross - although check out its listing and see how beautiful it is inside! (The listing also has a good shot of the front.)
This house is catty-corner across the street from the one above.
It's going for $199,000 and its listing is here.
This one's going for $189,000, and its listing is here.
This one's for sale by owner, so I've no idea of its price.
This one is also for sale by owner, so no price info.
Also, it's been subdivided into a triplex.

It's amazing to think that you could have cramped Chicago condo for a quarter mill or a MANSION...*cough*...in waycross.
some pretty houses. They would go for over double near the city. =(
This is why you punks need to give the finger to the cities and head out where things are cheap.
