Wishful thinking

A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and SIL drove by a house that is about half a mile from where we live...just on the other side of the freeway.  A sign that said "Soon to be on the market" caught their eye. From the street, they fell in love with the property and could hardly wait for it to be listed. They were estimating it to be at the very top end of our budget...or a tad above.

Then we saw the listing.

Main house: 3020 square feet (with only 2 bedrooms); guest house: 1500 square feet. And way over our budget.

The search continues.

  1. Play the lottery? Nice to see a designed landscape, many of these expensive houses lack any type of thought to the yard.

    1. Yes, I think the landscaping is very nice. There's also a koi pond, but I didn't include that photo.

    1. If it were mine, I'd make some color changes, along with some changes in fixtures and fans...and swapping out that stained glass for some reeded glass, but the bones are really nice.
