We found a house. We’ve looked at house after house over the past couple of years (between going around with friends who are house-shopping, watching friends buy and move into new houses, and searching ourselves last year and recently), and I’ve never seen a house I love as much as this one.
That said, let me tell you a little about it. This house is on a one-block section of street that’s between a brand-new elementary school and a city park. it’s got a large lot with a lot of trees. It’s a two-story “Arts and Crafts” style house that was built in 1935. It has all hardwood floors and the original woodwork of the house. It’s been kept up very well and updated. There’s a large deck in the back and beautiful landscaping (complete with a fountain, pond, and a couple of herb garden enclosures). There’s a 2-car garage. We just couldn’t find a thing to even worry about – it’s gorgeous and well-kept!
The house we have fallen in love with (these pictures don’t do it justice):
the front yard
the porch
the entryway – and the beautiful staircase

Ok – that house is adorable and beautiful all at the same time! So excited!!! Keep me posted on the process!
Wow how nice!!! I’m jealous! We probably paid the same for our 2 bedroom flat here in the Netherlands. Damn europeans!
That looks exactly like some houses I’ve been in over in Columbus, Ohio. Only the ones I’ve been in are split in two for renting. The pictures of the inside look almost the exacty same though. The staircase with the hallway going back to the kitchen. The rooms upstairs. Kinda weird.
I love it. It’s awesome. It makes me want to sell my house, reap the benefits, and move. :)
The house looks great! Congratulations.
Very nice! We’d like to see the house in person sometime. The hardwood floors & the woodwork are beautiful. We have a water garden & have had a fish population explosion so, would you like some fish for yours?
