Open House Sunday

built 1935

This home came up for sale last week in my neighborhood.

But I think it may already have sold or at least the sale is pending.

Houses are selling fast these days in my neighborhood.

I've long admired this home but never been inside.

I love the trio of arched windows.

I wish my own cottage had them.

I added large cement urns to my front pedestals after seeing these on this house.

Although mine are larger.

Love that it has a door with a speakeasy. 

Very unusual arched ceiling. This is the first one I've seen like this.

But...those curtains are terrible. They detract from what is great about this room.

The windows and the ceiling. I'd love to see this room without them.

I like that big tufted ottoman. I'm surprised to see there is a wood mantel in this house instead

of the usual art tile fireplace you see in these houses.

Again, the unusual arch shape carries through to the dining room.

Love those arches...oh...those curtains are so distracting.

The kitchen has been redone. It's nice but I like a kitchen that looks more vintage.

Not crazy about the floors...hardwood would be better.

Take some of those cabinet doors off too and it would make the kitchen more interesting.

Obviously the wall came down between the kitchen and the breakfast nook.

Cute little banquet.

Soothing bedroom

And a den

This is a great spot to watch tv and enjoy a fire.

The hall has a rounded corner on one wall. I love those.

Enclosed sunroom on the back of the house. 

Oh...my dogs would have a good time out here and I'd have a good time decorating it.

Obviously it is not being used at its full potential here.

A unusual garage with what looks to be a little apartment or at least storage.

I have a couple of people that read this blog that have asked me to 

email them when a good house comes up for sale in my neighborhood.

I emailed both when this one came up but did not hear back from either.

I wonder if anyone I know snapped this baby up.

Here's the full listing.
