They are nice neighbors, always waving hello when we are outside. Their kids are grown and they have golden retrievers. We can tell what they are remodeling by what comes out – sinks, counter tops etc. I would love to get a full tour of the inside…
This is the brown house. It is to the left of the other house. We don’t know much about the man who owns it except that he is a professor out of town. He comes on weekends and in the summer. We all keep an eye on the house and they have a great alarm system, so intruders beware! We think this is the home the owner grew up in. The brown house sits on a bit of a drop-off and we can see an addition that goes a long way back. I have dreams of buying this mystery house with it’s addition and circle drive, hidden by bushes… It seems as if it is never hot in that house it is so completely shaded by old trees.

Your house has great bones! I’m sure it will be even prettier than the others when you are done with it. Those of us on a budget have to do things a bit at a time. It can be frustrating but at least we really appreciate something when we finally get it.>>Now, do you think if we all signed a petition, the people in the first house would let you in with your camera?
oh my girl from the pics and the tales you have told me the inside WAS in horrible condition!!! you guys have made vast inprovements. what was that old saying you were telling me once that decorators and designers houses are never done cause they are too busy doing other people’s. lol.
I know exactly how you feel. We were blessed to buy our first house in September and have been updating the inside. It looks a lot better, but the outside is suffering. Hopefully we can get to that next spring.>>I love the pics of your neighborhood, very charming and lots of beautiful trees. You have a great house. I think it would be beautiful with a front porch, like you said.

Ok, >as the grandmother I am always impressed by how well your house stands up to two little boys and all that traffic. You keep up the good work.
Hey as long as your grass is cut, you’re fine! 🙂 It’s cute home. Is it a stucco type? I always think mediteriannian (sp)colors!
I’m so jealous! I live in a cookie cutter neighborhood. Your ‘hood is so lovely.
I truly love older homes. They have so much charm and your house was the perfect purchase. When you are finished it will have character that new houses can only dream of having. It has a cottage appeal.>Catherine
