Something with a little more character and spirit. A house that has a history and charm, even if it was built in the early 1900's. Oh and I definitely need a front porch. After living with one I will never go back. Why is it that some people (like my husband) don't understand that love for old historical homes. It's not that he doesn't appreciate older structures, its just that he doesn't want to live in one. His fear of drafty windows, rotting walls, and possibly ghosts may be the part of the reason why. At least we agree on one thing, we would both rather live out in the country rather than in a subdivision. This gives me an inch up on him because it is more likely that homes built out in the boonies will be old and historical. Just what I like ;)
I love historical homes too! And there is nothing better than a big front porch, complete with a porch swing of course!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really pretty house! After living in renovation for 5+ years- I would love to live in something fresh and new...just because it is so draining to have to fix stuff all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think you will get what you want :) Good luck!

This sounds just like me and my husband. He wants something new I want something built in the 30's! I love restoring old homes
ReplyDeleteOld houses have so much character! The house we moved from last year was built in 1920 and was solid as a rock! And you should have seen the clawfoot tub... *sigh*
