Historic home for sale

In August of 1990 we moved to this home in Hope, New Jersey.   At the time we were told the house was about 100 years old.   After 15 years in the home we decided that it was time to move on to a slightly larger home and the house has now been for sale for a while.  Anyone interested should look on the Burgdorf website and cross linking this post on several historic home sites.

As we lived there we cleaned, upgraded and restored many features of the house and over time discovered that the home was significantly older than we had thought.  Although I haven’t dome complete deed and title search on the home I can tell you based on construction and details uncovered during restorations that the home dates back to at least 1816, but I am sure that the core construction is significantly older than that.

My Home Theater wishlist

I think sometimes that I have too many interests…   Anyway on the home theater from here are the top three things I am looking for…

  • Nice Home Theater Receiver with upmixing to Component or HDMI.   It must have home network MP3 streaming capability.   It should have some DSP optimization tools.
  • A HD display capable of 1080p and at least 56″.  Top considerations are Samsung thin DLP, Sony XSRD.
  • The last item doesn’t exist yet.   I want HD Tivo for DirecTV.

Not to much
