Our Future Home

Since the first few posts are to catch up to the present, I won't belabor all the details of the search, other than to say, our Realtor nailed it.  Although I preferred a true Craftsman style with a full front porch and tapered columns, our Bungalow is perfect! We even have a two-car garage and a full-sized lot with an alley.

Over the years, this 1928 built house has been handled with loving care.  The red oak floors are in very good shape and most of the interior trim work and solid wood doors are stained, not painted--the only rooms with painted trim are the bathroom and kitchen, which was common for a home of the era. The original double-hung windows are there in all their glory, all thirteen of them.  By today's standards, the house is small at less than 830 square feet on the main floor, but it is perfect for us.
