If anyone is interested, I will find the link of the real estate listing for the house. We close the first part of November, assuming everything is not horrible with the inspection.
There's another site that had about nine pictures of it, but I was unable to find it. Remember to have lots of vision, lots and lots, when looking at the pictures.

ReplyDeleteI would love to see the link to your house. I love that you found an old house and that it is the BAD news and the GOOD news. I'm sure it is thrilling and scary for the question of what could go wrong??? EEK!

thanks for the wonderful visit, and help with the quilts. It is kinda boring again at our house. Service auction is Tuesday, I'm so excited, the quilt top is no longer as ugly as I thought, having second thoughts about keeping it.

Hi Katie,

it had more pictures....but then on the side bar were some DARLING houses also in medford in case yours falls through!
good to see you last week.
love,
liz
if you go to zillow.com and type in your address there are more pics as well. Love the stair case that was that a selling point for you?
