I WANNA live there Wednesday # 146

Good morning everyone !

We're in Mystic, Ct today in a charming Dutch Colonial built in 1907.
The property also has a carriage house which holds a 2 car garage AND a an apartment.
And then there's an insulated artist studio on top of all that - a dream property !

524,900
3 beds
2 baths
1,792 sq. feet
AGENT - KATY FETHERSTON

Ok, ready?  Let you soul and spirit fly................into the Mystic ( sorry - but I'm a huge Van Morrison fan )

Oh my gosh - this entry way - I WANT THIS ENTRY WAY !!!  ( and that front door too )

That corner?  It was meant for a Christmas tree !!!

Can a stove be sexy?  I think it can.

I just love this house - and the few things I don't like can be fixed with paint so they don't even count in my world !

Time to look around outside

Here's the " studio " !!!

And just behind it is the carriage house

And here's the apartment above the 2 car garage ( this property just keeps getting better and better )

600 square feet
Living area with French doors leading to a deck

A small bedroom

A walk in closet!

and a loft space !

I've shown a LOT of homes in this series - ALL kinds of different styles ( although I try my hardest to keep them older homes because that's what I prefer - I have shown some new builds too ) and they've run the full gamut in pricing - but I don't think I've ever found one that was made for me - every last detail - the way this one was.
I'm absolutely in love with it.
Every square inch of it.
You?

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone - it just dawned on me that we're really close to February - is that even possible?
Now excuse me - I have some important day dreaming to do !

THE LIGHT..............

It happens so quickly - minutes really and it's gone - you know - that light that happens just before the last moments of twilight immerses itself into the night.

The light as it's fading does something to my soul - truly - it's just magical to me.

But the mornings - oh my gosh - the mornings !

Something pretty incredible happens at the end of my street - at the little Church on the corner to be precise. You have to catch it at just the right moment............and you have to be living in MY house and be sitting in the upstairs office to get the perfect angle...............
And then it happens.
When the sun hits the glass ( there are NO lights on in the Church in these photos )
it leaves me breathless..............

I watch as it dances and then settles in precisely the right spot  - as if the Church were its primary destination before lighting up my corner of the world.

And then it gives off one last glorious burst before it continues upward.....................

and the Church window goes dark again.
This spectacular event lasts for perhaps 5 minutes and yet somehow on the mornings I catch it - that light?
It fills me to the brim -
It restores me.
And fills me with joy - enough to last the whole day.
Every single time I see it.

This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Let it shine
                 Let it shine
                                  Let it shine.......................
Even in my home.............
I'm going to let it shine

Have a wonderful day everyone !

Me
