Wanda Graves, realtor with Eastern Valley Real Estate, said they have a conditional buyer on the property, with several other ‘back-up offers’ on the mansion.

The Hants Journal went on a tour of the building with local artist Tacha Reed. Check out the story here for video and photos inside.

“There were multiple offers submitted,” Graves said.

Many details of the pending sale are confidential before it closes, including the price offer, the nature of the offer – residential or commercial – and many other factors.

“We did back-to-back viewings. I showed it the equivalent of nine hours in one day,” Graves said, adding other agents showed the home as well.

“There’s still showings going on, but they’re starting to slow down. We’re telling people to just wait,” she said. “It’s gonna go to somebody, it’s whether it’s the person in play now or the person that has written a back-up offer.”

Graves said she wouldn’t be surprised if the property sold by March 2.

“Suffice it to say, it is a good offer and we have other good offers that are backups,” she said. “There was such significant interest in this.”

The property was listed for $434,900 online.
