In Shepherdstown, WV, there is a Crooked House.....and
Jan 2007 Note: For now the quaint home is rented: all occupants are thought to be human.
If you want to experience the heritage that is America, this is the place. Located in the historic district with a large back yard, good schools within walking distance, near the main street with the college campus.
There are 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 4th upstairs sitting room/library/office/child's bedroom. Attic and cellar storage. Large patio & garden. Off street parking front and back. Washer & dryer.
One could set up an office or business using a side door leading into a room with large planks as flooring.

This last photo illustrates where the homestead name originated. Vintage homes are not for the "straight and narrow" minded folks.
Finally, the reason you see a rental property page on a roofing contractor's web site: I first met the owner, dressed in her work jeans and old shirt, just cleaning, sanding and painting-a hands-on owner of this old place. Her attention and interest adds to the value of renting a home like this. By the way, we painted her roof.
