Houses We Didn't Buy

As you all know, we just bought a new house,
and we're due to close on August 11th.

Yay!

But the road to the house we did  buy wasn't a straight path,
it was circuitous, as most house hunts tend to be.

I thought I'd share with you some photos I snapped
of a few other properties we looked at along the way.

Today I'll be featuring one that almost  made the cut,
but due to a few variables, lost out in the end.

It's still a lovely home, and I could easily have seen myself there.

Enjoy the tour!
And don't forget to click twice on all pics to super-size them!

Another great front door.

And yep, this house is also located
in my new hometown, Fredericksburg, Texas.

I didn't get a really good, head-on shot of the house,
so here's a screen capture of the listing to give you an idea...

It's a darling Victorian, just like the other two,
and has some serious charm happening inside.

Let's take a look.

The owners definitely have a funky decorating vibe going on here,
just look at the Craftsman tool chest being used as a TV stand on the left. Love it!

Charming country kitchen.

Door leading to large covered porch just off the kitchen.

Heading upstairs....

There are two bedrooms upstairs, but I absolutely
fell head over heels in love with the master bedroom....

Get a load of that fabulous exposed brick!

I mean, you can hardly call this just a bedroom....it's like a suite!

And the outside spaces are every bit as charming
as what we've seen indoors...

But the pièce de résistance of the outdoor spaces was this...

An utterly amazing outdoor shower!!!

So there you have it, the house we didn't choose.

I have no doubt that this will make someone a fantastic home,
but there were just certain factors that made it less than a perfect fit for us.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Have a beautiful Friday!
