House Hunting

Have an extra $700K floating around?  Let's buy a piece of history in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods we have.

This house is located on Bidwell Parkway (designed by Frederick Olmsted- who you may know from lesser accomplishments, such as New York's Central Park, har har.)  A lot of the houses in this area have been broken up into apartment buildings, but this house has thankfully survived a butchering.  Let's have a tour, shall we?

The craftsmanship, oh my.  I would sleep on that staircase landing every night.  And the beautiful windows everywhere.  And the fact that its been updated without compromising the integrity of the house.  Beautiful.  I hope whoever gets into this house next shows it the same respect....and can afford the heating bill.

I may have an unhealthy obsession with homes.  I can get lost for hours looking at real estate.  Let's check out one of my dream homes, yes?

This one is located in Buffalo on Franklin St, right near our Allentown district.  Priced at a reasonable $199,900 (Well, not reasonable for me in particular, but definitely more than reasonable for some folks),this brick carriage house of joy would be mine tomorrow if I had the chance:

The hardwood floors!  The stainless steel!  The brick! Oh, the brick!  My love and desire for this house could only be expressed in song, unfortunately the title 'Brick House' has already been taken...  I'm sure my little dream home will have no trouble finding a new owner.
