While out for my regular walk a few weeks ago, I was excited to notice that a house I’ve long admired was for sale and open to visitors. Snoopy neighbor that I am, I shamelessly went to check it out.
I was not disappointed. Built in the early 1900s and reminiscent of a Victorian farmhouse one might see in an “Anne of Green Gables” movie, the house featured a sunny front porch, an open staircase, a multi-paned bay window, and many other architectural features that are rarities in more recent buildings. I found myself wishing I was in the market for a house because I would have strongly considered that one, even though it didn’t have some of the amenities we now consider necessities.
