Well we went to see the Colonial House that was foreclosed last week. I cannot describe to you how charming it was inside. It had fireplaces in EVERY room (including bathrooms), hardwood floors that were already refinished in over half the house, brand new solid oak cabinets in the kitchen, pantry and mud room with new granite counter tops. There was a Living Room, Dining Room and Family Room, all of which were huge. There were 3 sets of stairs leading to the second floor because of the house being so big. The foyer was bigger than a regular room that is in my own home! Each bedroom (approx 4 or 5 of them) had new carpet. The master had a walk-in closet that was probably once a bedroom and a bathroom that use to be a bedroom. Also, you could walk outside of the Master bedroom in two places onto two different balconies. Two of the bathrooms had brand new claw foot tubs and a tiled walk-in shower. The vanities in both bathrooms were new. The one in the master bath had double sinks with carved oak cabinets and granite counter tops. Almost all of the house had fresh paint on the walls. The lighting in this house was from top of the line companies. They had antique chandeliers hanging from the foyer, dining room and living room. The third floor, which use to be the atic, was carpeted and was one huge room for maybe a game room. It had a full basement. Whoever the previous owner was had already installed heating and air units for the house. It was just unbelievable! Now want to know what made me mad? My camera died on me when I was trying to take pictures of the inside. I had a few that came out alright of the outside, but my date mark was on and it is wrong...lol. Oh and one other thing, the house is listed in the upper $80s!!! Can you believe that?

What a nice bit of construction. Too bad they don't build them half as good anymore.
That house would be beautiful restored. Did you take pics of the inside?

So beautiful! I love Colonial and Victorian houses. Having the inside restored and decorated with furniture from the Colonial era would be a blast. :)
