Day 16 - Dream House
We want to buy a house this year. That's probably no secret. Whether or not that happens is still up in the air, dependent on us selling our condo, and the state of our 2010 tax return. So we're not going to get our hopes up just in case. BUT we are still constantly looking at schools and neighborhoods and working on getting our place ready to sell (which is slow due to John's long work hours due to the increase in commercial pool repairs their company is doing).
So one afternoon I was looking at houses for sale in Colorado Springs. John's always said he wants to retire in Colorado and running a fly fishing shop. I'm all for it if we can live in THIS HOUSE.
I mean, even putting aside the fact that it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's understudy, just look at it! I love everything about it. It has a gorgeous porch, views that are amazing and that reflect off the windows, huge windows, and the listing says all kinds of things I didn't have the patience to read or understand. But scroll all the way down on the LISTING for more pictures!
I just love it. At 1.7 million it is probably a steal! I mean seriously, how'd you like to stare at that view all day?
Does anyone have 1.7 million I can borrow?
Well, if all 5 sisters and Mom sell our houses and put in all of our mortgages and savings and live together with our 16 children, spouses and grandchildren we might get to half that amount! It is very beautiful.
Does it come furnished? Their furnishings are awesome! In any account, I think that 1.7 mil. is a steal also... amazing square footage, art everywhere you look, a unique design and that art studio is to die for. Amazing! If you win the lottery, I will come visit you in Colorado. :-)
