i fell in love with this little house the first time we looked at it. it was built in 1963, and i don't think a thing has changed since then! wood paneling, old yellow carpet, pink bathroom, even an antique stove!
we had about a week of haggling over the offers. yesterday they declined, only to call back later in the day to reconsider - apparently one of the elderly sisters who grew up in the home liked the idea of piano lessons in their family's home. so i'd like to think my piano teacher status got us accepted. :)
i hadn't allowed myself to go through the photos i took until today. this house has so many cute uniquenesses - here's a few of them.
circle stairway with yellow covered window...
the view from the upstairs living room ...
the downstairs family room - or party room!
tile in the downstairs pink bathroom ...
just a few of the lovely, overgrown, old fashioned trees in the backyard ...
hey, we might be moving! :)

love it already, lani! we're really excited for you guys!
I like it! And it's neat about the piano lessons swaying the owners' decision! Reminds me of Anne Shirley when she goes off to college and gets to live in "Patty's Place" for less than the asking price because the old ladies who owned it could see that Anne genuinely loved the house. :-)
I love it!!! :) Congratulations. Owning your first home is an exciting adventure.
thanks! we're so excited. :) this is actually our second home - we'll be renting out our first, and we're really excited (and a little trepidatious) about the whole adventure.
