We're Almost There (Our New Home? )

What does this photo say to you?

It's the front door of the house we're likely
going to make an offer on soon.
And I'll tell you what it says to me at the end of this post.

I did promise shots of all the houses we toured yesterday.
And they're coming, slowly but surely.

But it was such a long day.

We looked at FOUR marvelous homes, and I can say

without reservation

and

without hesitation

and with only the wee-est amount of trepidation,
that I have fallen hard, fast, and I'm just embarrassingly, downright

silly

over one house in particular.

This house...

The facts:

It's in Fredericksburg, Texas

only 20 miles away from where I currently live and work

Located in the historic district

Only one street over from all the amazing downtown antique shopping

Built in 1910

2400 square feet

Wood floors and beadboard ceilings (both in excellent shape)

And---get this...central air! No melting in the 100 degree Texas Summers!

Word from the seller's agent is that the sellers are motivated. Like, ready to sell yesterday.

Just a couple more outside shots for today, than it's off to Trade Days in Fredericksgurg.

 You're looking at the side of the house here.

An addition was built in between the original house and garage
which blends seamlessly...it's a HUGE two-story loft space with panoramic windows.

It says "studio" to me.

You see?

Original garage to the left, house to the right,
and the seamless loft addition in the center.

It's a gorgeous, light-filled space.

But back to the question I posed at the beginning of this post.

I asked what this image says to you...

To me?

I think it says home.
