About $100K over the budget, but a girl can dream, right?

I haven't decided whether or not the fun outweighs the depression when you look at houses outside your price range, especially when you find your dream house, but I keep doing it. If nothing else, it gives me something to post about.

Take a look at this beauty I found today. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus a guest house that is not included in the 3574 square feet. It was built in 1957 and sits on over half and acre of beautifully landscaped property.

When I showed the listing to my daughter, she was bowled over and sent me a message that said, "This would be worth the mortgage. OMG!"

If we bought this property, we'd definitely be "house poor" and living on pasta for the rest of our lives, but c'mon...look at all those windows!

      I might learn to like Kibble and Bits if I could live in this house. haha

    I torture myself almost daily looking at real estate. I am currently in love with this gem:

    IMO it is perfect in every way - except where it's situated, which makes it a big no no for us :(

      Oh, that one is fantastic! We've found several in no-no locations around here too. That's always frustrating.

    Wow. Just wow. If nothing else, you had me at all those built-in bookshelves in the bedroom. :)

      I admit that I too can easily be had for a few bookcases.

      Jenn and I were supposed to look at it last night, but we were both sick. :(
