updating it with today’s amenities.
Today, the 2,800-square-foot
property features a spacious eat-in
kitchen, formal dining room and
living room that each has its original
fireplace, three full baths, five bedrooms,
wood plank floors, new roof,
and updated electrical. It also has a
front porch, private driveway, and a
two-car garage.
For Meier, the restoration has been
a labor of love.
“It took a long time,” he says. “We
didn’t have a big crew. It was one other
person, besides me and my son. We
took it down to the studs and got rid
of all the old beams. The house had
no heating or electric. We put in all
new insulation, subfloors, central air
conditioning.”
“We saved as much as we could,” he
continues. “The two stairwells are all
original, the wide plank flooring, the
old doors, and windows. We rebuilt
the porches and put in all new siding.
I hope whoever moves into the house
appreciates what the house is and the
history of it and the fact that it has
been there for over 170 years.”
The nine-room home sits on .75
acres in a historic district, explains
realtor Diane Mollica of Daniel Gale

that large,” she says. “It is twice the
size of a normal lot in the area.”
Mollica adds that the area is charming
and quaint and a beautiful place to
live.
“South Jamesport has a certain flavor
to it that people like,” she says. “It
is a very intimate setting. There is a
great sense of community. People are
always gathering outdoors walking
their dogs, pushing their baby strollers,
conversing with their neighbors.
We also have boating, the marina,
fine dining, the beaches and some of
the region’s best wineries.”
Although ready to turn the house
over to a new owner, Meier admits he
is still so attached to the house and the
location that he built his new home
right across the street.
“We only moved 300 feet,” he
laughs. “Our new house is smaller
and very beachy, so it feels like we are
on vacation all the time. It’s a whole
different feel than the old house.”
