We saw 7 properties yesterday...and none of them were good for our needs. There were two worth mentioning though.
The first one was a really nice stone American four-square. Unfortunately, it was in a terrible state of disrepair. Much too bad to consider seriously. But in its heyday it was a beautiful house. It makes me sad that it was in such bad condition. I keep thinking about it, but it's really too much work...who knows how much it would cost to fix it up and it would take forever.
The second one was a Spanish Colonial. In the photos we saw beforehand the rooms looked HUGE and it seemed like it was in super nice condition. So even though there were no bedrooms on the first floor, it was possible that we could divide up a couple of those giant spaces and make a bedroom for Jackson. When we got into the place, we couldn't believe our eyes! The huge rooms were actually very small... that must have been one heck of a photographer! Plus it was way too expensive and the agent was smarmy. Bleck.
Anyway, 7 houses is too much to look at with a baby all at once so we won't be doing that again. I will send my agent (Lee) to scout out the houses beforehand and then I will only get to see the good stuff.
