That first house would be over $1 million in my neighborhood. Le sigh. ETA: And the taxes on a $300K house are $5K/year, too, so the taxes on a house like this would probably be $15K/year.
Crazy! I've actually been in that first house unless it has a twin! Years ago, when I was in the military, I was stationed in Wichita and moonlighted as a leasing agent. That one was one of our properties! That was about 18 years ago, but I couldn't forget that house because I fell in love with it.
That is crazy! I can see why you remember it though, all the beautiful details and built-ins. They make me swoon!
