So we just bought this. -->
As an impulse purchase at an auction. It took us a year and a half to choose a CAR, so this was a little out of character for us.
It's a 2300 sq. ft. English country style house with a lot of Tudor-style architecture. We absolutely love the style and the outside of it, but the inside is a total wreck. We are remodeling it slowly on our own, and so far it has been equal parts exhilarating and stressful. Take a look.

It's full of interesting details like the arched front door here. It has a knocker and a little window covered in shutters that can be opened from the inside. It's very Keebler elves.
There's also this on the side of the house...
And there's a window box. I LOVE window boxes!
This gorgeous attic will (hopefully one day soon) become a kick ass Peter Pan-style nursery for the kids.
