House-dreaming | hippieheart's Blog

Don't get me wrong ~ I absolutely adore this little duplex we're renting.  But I can't wait to sell our house in Florida, so we can buy one here!  A friend of ours has decided to buy a house, for the first time.  My husband says she had  a brochure today of a house I would love.  A huge backyard, in a historic district neighborhood, with a tall fence around it.  And the square footage was in our ballpark, too ~ around 2200.  Nice.  Our house in Florida is way too big ~ 3400 sq. feet.  I am looking to find something smaller, cozier and easier to manage.  Something in the ballpark of 2200 square feet would be perfect.   And it HAS to have a nice sized yard.  One that we can play in and one that we can plant in.  A want a garden and at least three bedrooms, so we can use on of those rooms as a guest room / studio for me.  I don't need much, but I am definitely ready for a house here.  We're living in roughly 900 sq. feet and it works fine ~ but does tend to feel small when the weather is bad...
