The moment we drove up to this house I got a tickling feeling in the pit of my stomach. No house has done that to me since we started the search. They say you feel it the moment you walk into a house if it’s meant to be yours, like the house talks to you or something. As we waited for our Realtor to open the lock box Craig and I looked at each other and had the biggest smiles on our face. We were on the same page before we even walked in. We knew this house was special and it was talking to us without us even saying a word to each other.
Craig and I really were interested in getting a Tudor style house. We just LOVE all the beautiful wood work that those types of houses have to offer. The problem is there are not that many out there in our price range or in Brighton. We really thought we were moving into an apartment for the time being. Then the house gods offered this little gem to us. It is everything Craig and I were looking for and more. We have lots of great ideas on how to add on in the future and make it even more special, but for now we just can’t wait to move in.
Here is a photo of the house that was taken in the summer. I took this photo with my iPhone off of a photo that was left in the dining room. The quality is not the greatest. But, look how beautiful this house is!
In the living room there is this beautiful work of art. I can’t wait to sit and turn on the gas fireplace. We are ecstatic that it’s not a wood fireplace. Been there, done it. I won’t miss the mess, even thou the smell was awesome. We are looking forward to pushing a button and having an instant fire.
Here is the view of the street from the foyer.
Um, yeah and it has a pool. When we first heard of the pool, we weren’t super excited about it. But, now we are. If last year is an inclination of how Dagny likes the water, then she is going to have a blast growing up in this house.
As we get closer I will post more photos. It’s been a crazy few weeks, but it looks like we are moving on to the next phase real soon, moving!
