Tony and I have always loved going for drives. We get to talk, see new things being built, see weird people out in town, explore neighborhoods, and look at houses while dreaming of our "someday" future. ....And lately I drive because, sometimes, it's just a whole lot easier to put a toddler down for a nap like that.
One day we came upon the most awesome neighborhood and found this empty house.
If we could afford it, we'd buy it in an instant!
For years we've often driven by it to see if anything has ever been done to it.
It's a foreclosure that's just been sitting empty and has had a fair amount of vandalism done to it.
It's been so fun to dream of all the ways we'd fix it up.
It has a really really long driveway that circles in the front with the garage off to the side. I can envision tire swings in the front yard with kids playing, a pretty garden and a fountain in the middle area of the drive, a swing set out back, with nice patio furniture, a pool off to the side (gated off, of course), and inside.... a million possibilities with that open concept, big windows, great light, and sooo much space making up almost 5,000 square feet! We've only peeked in some windows so we're actually kind of clueless of the exact layout inside, but I'm sure we could make it work! Haha!
Edited to add:::
The house finally went to auction, was sold for such a low price.
Flipped and SOLD... for not such a low price.
Sigh. I'd love to flip houses... or just find a big beautiful one like this to fix up and live in!
Here are some pictures from the listing!!
