About this home
Lynds Manor is a rare Victorian estate offering substantial square footage, original craftsmanship, and multiple areas ready for renovation or value-add improvement. Once home to notable figures in Sandstone’s history, this property combines timeless architecture with significant restoration potential. The main level features expansive formal rooms ideal for entertaining or future event use, including a grand dining room, spacious living room with hardwood floors and fireplace, and a vaulted sunroom with pellet stove. The large kitchen retains period charm with a scullery, butler’s pantry, and 1940s cabinetry—ready for modernization or a full redesign. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a library with built-in shelving, and a bonus room with potential for a fifth bedroom or office. The primary suite offers double closets, a walk-through bath, and sitting area. The property includes two basements—one with updated mechanicals, and one newer, finished space with daylight windows, epoxy floors, cedar walls, fireplace, bar, and hobby room. Attic access provides even more potential for expansion or storage. Lynds Manor presents a strong opportunity for investors, flippers, or visionaries seeking a large historic property in a growing community. Restore its grandeur, reimagine it as a bed-and-breakfast, or develop as a unique residential showcase—the possibilities are wide open.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
