It's an hour from work. (About now my brother is saying, "Oh, I see: a short ride!) Seriously, it was gorgeous: beautiful kitchen, large rooms, lots of architectural interest, a southern exposure, very quiet and private, a lovely setting on a huge parcel of land overlooking a little vale. We could even hear school children at recess in the picturesque little village, whose church steeple we could see from the terrace.
After seeing that, we figured we were spoiled forever, but today we saw another house that was at least "nice." The rooms in this one are kind of small, but it's got great open spaces, and a nice yard and kitchen. The husband's dad is an Italian stone worker, so it has granite countertops. Sarah, we would put you in what they're using as the study. The bad news on this one is that we're fourth in line. Whoever signs up first has right of refusal, and the second person can't do anything until number one rejects the house or his option expires. The first two options expire Tuesday, and the third one the same day as ours. But the owners were encouraging, pointing out that one of those ahead of us didn't even show up for the appointment. We're hooking up with a realtor to expand our search because those two houses were about it for the SHAPE board.
There are lots of individual houses here, and they all seem to have different looks and different floor plans, lots of tile, and tile roofs. And growing grass here is a snap because it's generally cool and wet year round. We'll keep you posted.
