Damnit Tamb!

I've been looking on Zillow at houses for sale (we never really wanna move) and I found this:

www.zillow.com/homedetails/1207-N-Austin-St-Seguin-TX-78155/49555535_zpid/

One of the most BEAUTIFUL homes in our town. UGH. I want.

[luckyval]

That is stunning skipping!

I lived in a Victorian in college with a bunch of other people - dream house. But, the curved windows were impossible to replace (someone, um, shot through the window)

We have a whole row of historical homes in our town. And its just beautiful house after beautiful house. One of them is a Mansion that has like 10 bedrooms in it. And we live in a stupid house lol

[TrickyBob]

Omg, beautiful.

I love looking at houses and even though buying a house was such a pain in the ass, I really miss it.

To show the massive contrast in this town:

www.zillow.com/homedetails/533-Elley-St-Seguin-TX-78155/49556274_zpid/

That is about .5 a mile away from the Victorian.

It's pretty bad. One of the restaurants that's close by has closed 5 times. 3 for prostitution, once for drugs and once for embezzlement. I can't find an actual number per capita at the moment, but its high.

That's a horrible home, but it is on a nice size lot.  Level it, and build a new one, although I am guessing it is in a shitty part of town.

It's pretty nice, I guess.

Oh, that thing? Totally middle class.

We chose our current place over one with a jacuzzi tub and a fire place in the bedroom.

Regrets. I have them.

We don't need fireplaces in Texas. Its February and 82 degrees outside.

And Mr. Safety (aka H) would NEVER light the fireplace in the bedroom. He'd be afraid we'd fall asleep and the house would burn down

Don't regret the jacuzzi tub.  We have one and I never use the jets because of the gunk that gets stuck in the pipes and it's super hard to clean. 

In our next house, I still want a gigantic tub, but not one with jets.

ETA:  (idea) Maybe I'll run some vinegar through it right now for awhile and use it later!

[LeggsBenedict]

We used our fireplace in Arizona.*

SO THERE.






*Like, twice.

This is helpful information.

Eat it, jacuzzi tub.

We live in South FL. We bought a fire pit a few weekends ago and have already gotten our money's worth.  I (heart) it!

I would totally use a fireplace if we had one.

[Deleted]

LOL. My parents use theirs. BUT its a lot easier and cheaper to heat their house I guess.

[psychmom]

I too have been scouring Realtor.com looking for houses. lol H and I are getting the contact info for a realtor our friends used so we can sell our current home and move.

We used it all the time in AZ, but we lived in the mountains, so it's cold(ish) in the winter.

I'll never own a jetted tub again. We have a massive pink one in our second bath. I've never turned on the jets and have no idea if they work or not.

I have a fireplace in my bedroom and we love it. We live in SoCal and it is great at night

[ralphlauren]

You cannot see me in this picture but I am snuggling in my bed with a movie and fire going. It is great.

[Deleted]

You even have a TV in your bedroom.

<- jealous party of one.
