First I should say that I'm fortunate to have found what is possibly the best realtor in the world. I was a few minutes late to the house and he had gone in first {and later admitted to going in first so he can control his facial expressions if things are really bad} and sent me an email saying something to the extent of, "I went in the house and great news, there are newer windows!!"
Keep in mind he walked {or actually skated} by this sink to see the windows. Don't worry, there won't be much actual water damage until the ice melts. In the meantime there's some really fresh-smelling ice inside!
This is a very bad picture of the amazing doors in the house {if you double what you see, you can figure out what it looks like}, you may be asking what the stuff on the floor is.
Not to worry, it's just a skylight and who doesn't like those?!?
The best part is, there is more than one! {This one actually worries me as did the third floor ceiling that was bowed under the weight of the snow.}
Will I buy it? Probably not, although I'm planning on obsessing about it a whole lot. It has amazing stairs, secret wood floors, three porches, and a barn almost the size of the house. But, as protection against an impulse buy, I didn't photograph anything that I loved about this place so you don't get to see any of that.
If only I actually knew Norm from This Old House and his crew of people who know how to make doing this stuff look fun!
I was wondering if you were still house hunting. You had mentioned that you were interested in a fixer upper but this one looks pretty extreme. It would probably be easier to some extent to take on such a project since you're designer but it's still alot of work. My husband and I were just reminiscing about our house hunt the other day and couldn't believe how many years it took us to find our place. Just because of that I wouldn't want to move again.
ReplyDeleteThat door! I might consider that house just for the door. And just you wait, those 'skylights' will start trending in no time.
ReplyDeleteYou are a MUCH braver person than I am. I don't even know if I'd have the guts to walk into that house, knowing it might collapse on me at any moment
