I love the house. There are so many, many things I love about it--the old tudor style with stone and brick.
the nearly acre lot with huge mature trees and creek running along the back.
The library with spiral staircase. I mean, really, a house with that only comes along so often.
The newly remodeled kitchen isn't too shabby either.
So, why did I wake up afraid that maybe I can still get out of it? The list of things that needs to be done to it is long--new roof, AC put in (it has a swamp cooler now), somehow cover up the ugly baseboard radiators, redo some of the older looking bathrooms, a lot of the closets don't even have doors (Oh but the ones that do are antique and amazing ), tile the ugly linoleum laundry room floor, some of the light fixtures are really pretty bad. So, do we do it? Or would it just be a moneypit and a thorn in my side? Or does the good outweigh the bad?

I have no direction for you...but that spiral staircase is really cool. Good luck!
I didn't know about the library! I LOVE the library! I don't know what I would do if I were you....
I love the library and the Tudor style, but it will be sad to see your family go. Where is the house located? Good luck on your decision making process.
It's in Highland. I'm still torn. I really wish so many things wouldn't have to change.
This is it? Oh WOW, Jeana! Good thing you asked me site-unseen. LOL
Good luck, but I would have a HARD time passing that up!
Highland? Alpine school district? Really? Well, we'll miss you guys.
Jeana, are you seriously going to make me wait until Sunday when I see you again to know what you decided? :)
We've agreed upon a price--now we'll see if we can agree on a closing date. We want to push it off to have time to sell our house and I refuse to pull my kids out of school midway, but if we can come up with an agreement, it looks like it will happen.
It's YOU and so I know it will all work out. It's your dream house. The rest are just details.
Hey this is Meg Voss. That house is amazing! I want to visit you and write in your retreat house :) Wow. Awesome.
