Oh wow, there really are lots of houses out there!

So then we check out a modest house on a good sized lot in a great neighborhood. Upon seeing it we understood a little better why it was priced so well. You see, it had originally been a duplex. All the work that was done to convert it into a single family home was great. We just didn't agree with a few of the floor plan choices. We would rather have a larger kitchen and dining room than a 100+ square foot master bath and a small second bedroom. But the back yard was large and had a lovely deck. The closet space was insane, but there was no attic access therefore no storage space for that junk you just can't throw away, but clearly don't need because you've just moved it from attic to attic for the last several years. So not the house for us.
As you can see, we are a bit picky, but love to dream about our first house that we haven't found yet. We do know what we want, sort of... An old home, one we can put something into. One that has enough room for two adults, two dogs, two cats and someday a kid or two. So the search continues...
