My childhood "dream house" is for sale

[stephm0188]

Did anyone else have that one house you'd look at and think "Someday I'm going to live there" when you were a kid?

My "dream house" is on the market.

Wow, what a great house.

[thewop]

Yep. It was the house at the top of the street, and one I saw on my way to school.

Are you going to buy it?

[stephm0188]

I wish! A little wallpaper removal and new curtains and it could be even more amazing.

But sadly, it is 2.5 hours away in a blue collar town without much in the way of professional jobs. That's probably why the price keeps dropping and it continues to sit on the market.

There is a ton of potential in that house! I love the gardens and attic spaces!

[jayhawkbecca]

hate the wall paper and then kitchen fan, but love it overall, especially the sun room!

[moonlight]

Amazing!! And I can't believe the price. That would be a million dollars here.

[sillygoosegirl]

OMG you have to buy it!

[bunnymendelbaum]

Beautiful!
I grew up in Defiance, OH (you know it, right?) and there are similar amazing houses. Sadly, not too many jobs either.

Yes. It is reportedly very haunted and I want in t so bad.

Beautiful! My great grandma lived in Marion so we visited a lot until I was 12 when she died. I would love to own a house like that, if I had an endless treat of money for upkeep!

My H says that if the house has a name, so do the ghosts in it. LOL. Beautiful house though. I could do without the wallpaper and most of the tile.

My dream vacation house went on the market a summer or two ago, and I remember being totally appalled at how it was decorated inside.

[thiswillbe]

I *totally* had a childhood dream house when I was little! I even drove my kids by it to see it the last time we were in my hometown.

That's a beautiful house (well, the bones at least! ) Love the gardens.

a LITTLE?? That's a lot of wallpaper removal. And kitchen tile removal.

But omg, so worth it. it's a shame there's no jobs in the area.

Okay, then that solves the job problem: buy it and turn it into a haunted house bed and breakfast!

[aweilba]

Holy wallpaper, Batman! Other than that, that house is gorgeous!!

I did have a childhood dream house... it was also the town "haunted" house, so I don't know what that says about me as a child.

[minniebee]

Wow. So much potential in that house! It's 45 miles from my H's office in Columbus. Maybe we could buy it and I can run a B&B there? It's so cheap! I would definitely hire someone to remove all the wallpaper :-)

[Deleted]

I would buy it just for that staircase
