And besides the video -wanted to post some pics of one of the two houses I would have moved into if the inside would have worked out for us. Up here in the mountains one of our requirements is central
heating - no wall heaters - it gets darn cold - both of these houses had wall heaters - which is the first drawback - ...and there were other issues.
Anyway this is one of my favorite outside areas where I would have loved living.
but first the VIDEO
sorry some how the video got put in the wrong place - anyway - the house itself definitely needed some paint - and inside - according to what i read it has a lot of rooms and a good size master bedroom.
but upstairs there was hardly any room for my dining room table - that's all that would have fit upstairs. There were three levels. sorry if i duplicated some. This is one of the two houses i have seen since we moved here that I would have considered moving for - ...i like lots of yard and a good monthly price.
This house - it wasn't so much the house but the yard - i LOVED the yard - but moving into the house would be quite a project. (I really don't want to move but one of my hobbies ever since we sold our house is always looking for the "perfect house" up here in the mountains. The outside of houses is more important to me than the inside. I love being outside and doing yard work and watching birds. As long as the interior is half way decent and fits us size wise - that's all i care about. I would have loved to play around in this yard - the bridge also is over a seasonal creek.
The building in the front of the pics is a storage shed since there is no garage. Very few houses up here where we live actually have garages. Usually enough room for three cars to park and somewhere on the property a storage shed. A lot of the newer houses have garages but not the old ones that I look at. I like the charm of older cabins and the price.
We saw this before we sent to San FRancisco last October - I kind of thought that if it was still available when we got back (a week later) I might ask to see the inside. By the time we got home it had been rented. Somehow this post got screwed up with text, pictures and video not lining up... Can you imagine moving into this house with all the stairs and narrow walkways and then the stairs once you get to the house - that was the biggest drawback for me. The parking would be way up here - way far away from the house.
hauling groceries every time you go to the store would have been quite a work out - but still...I wonder...if it had still been available when we got home - i might have considered it - not sure Mike would have. The storage area is that yellow building a ways down.

Being older, and knowing that everyone will someday be older also...... My first thought is to the future. Needless to say, navigating alllllllll those stairs, would get harder and harder, with the years.
Plus, on a sunny, dry day, those stairs would be one thing. But on a rainy, colder day... With slippery fallen leaves underfoot, and etc..... They could be treacherous.
So, I am kind of glad, you missed out on it. :-)))))))))))))))))
C-u-t-e video!
That's a pretty house and location, but my knees could not handle those stairs at all. Our next place and probably last place will have no stairs.
Love the song in the video. That was fun to watch.
I agree - imagine those stairs with snow or ice! If it was down where our house was before we sold I would have loved that yard. The house - not so much but the yard yes. There are times I'm tired of having a two story house - I never had a 2 story until we started renting. It is really hard in the mountains to find a house on one level. I've seen very few of them.
LOVE the video...saw lots of those movies...love how it's edited...yay!
Too many stairs! When my knees were giving me such trouble, I could NOT have taken those stairs. I really like the house you are in right now. I understand about wanting one level, but yours is really cool!
Have been away without my computer so am trying to catch up. I looked at the houses you showed – some are very picturesque but, as you say, all the stairs are a drawback. I am not sure I understand if you are trying to buy a new house, rent one or get a summer home. The area looks beautiful though. I hope you find what will be the right place for you.
Not in the market at all actually - i like where I live - but after selling a house a few years back I don't want to buy again - only rent. I got in the habit of looking for rentals way back in 2010 - and I still do it basically just for fun - looking to see what is available in the area. ...
