The house was on the edge of town at the end of a long drive with 2 other houses on it. On one side is a nice row of trees that separates the house from a church. On the other side is neighbor who has been a friend of our family for years. The other house was owned for a very long time by a popular local veterinarian. At this time we don't know who the owner is since the vet has passed away.
When we got inside the house was full of beautiful paneling in a huge great room with a beautiful floor to ceiling fireplace There was more paneling in the den. (Why would anyone want to deal with painting when you could have gorgeous natural wood that hardly requires any upkeep?) It has unique wooden wall shelving units in 2 bedrooms and the den. There is plenty of space with a family room and a second bathroom. But.......the master bathroom is pink AND blue. (More on that later.) And, we were not thrilled to see that every floor surface was covered with carpet.
The realtor was convinced that there was nothing of value under the carpet since carpet was most likely the flooring of choice at the time the house was built. That was a bit of a disappointment. We talked to the realtor and she told us that if we wanted a house that still had as many original components as this one we might as well make an offer because the chances of us finding something else like this in our town would be slim. So, we were making plans to put in new flooring in almost the entire house if our offer was accepted.
Thanks for documenting everything. :)
