I WANNA live there, WEDNESDAY - #1

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood :( in which I live in basically servants quarters compared to what I'm surrounded by.)

Because there's days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )

Here's the first one in the series ( and it seriously almost makes my palms too sweaty to type.)

This is around the corner from my FLAT -( ONE FLOOR ) and all it would take would be to win a lottery  - is that aiming too high - should I keep my dreams in perspective?
Tell me what you think - would you be dreaming of this?

The Exterior

The beige one smack in the middle

COME ON IN


This is the entrance way - do you need a moment to absorb that fact?
I still haven't yet - THE ENTRANCE WAY???????
It's basically the size of my flat, lol
and what a dream come true to have a fireplace in the entrance way -
can you imagine the x-mas decorating
( I don't know why - but everytime I see a new house - I imagine it decorated for x-mas, strange that , really -
but then again I'm as strange as they come )
oh - and I would paint all that wood out - except for the stair treads and the floors everything would be WHITE



Oh - James - please take all these lovely ladies coats - I'm dying to show them the rest of our home - lol

Wouldn't change a thing - ok maybe I would paint the walls - but look at that
BAY WINDOW - look at those MOLDINGS - look at that FLOOR






Dining room - LOOK  at the little niche to the right - built ins?


Upstairs landing   - this had me at "skylight"
Perfect place to hang POM POMS from, lol?

OMG - there's a stair case in the KITCHEN - ( for servant's back in the day? )
Isn't this adorable?  Again I wouldn't change a thing except painting the walls.......

another view of the kitchen














Master Bedroom - ok seriously - do I need to even say anything here
except that this may not be a good series for me - I may end up in a serious depression -
because this room REALLY is the size of my home I think!

MY OFFICE - loving the corner fireplace - and the radiator covers and the
chandelier and the floors and the windows -
AGGGHHHH - too much!!!!


Check the floors - even in the basement - and a little bitty BAY window........

There are no photos of the backyard - but it could be swampland for all I care - really - they could tell me the entire back yard was made of quicksand - and that guests have been lost forever - they could tell me it
was a cess pool - I WOULD STILL BUY IT.  It "fits" me - every last detail -

And all this could be mine for just a little under a million dollars - 995,000.00 to be exact - which although may sound over the top, is actually a STEAL for this area....................

Hmmmm,
Now where can I steal that kind of money from.............................
JOHHHNNNN, start the car.


XOXOXO
