more than a few of the older places in the town where are place is are painted this weird shade of yellow. with brown trim. not my favorite, to say the least. most every (older) home was built when the mill was in full swing. i think the place is 75-100 years old. still working on it's exact age. the front room and dining room are all redwood. the bedrooms are quite large, as is the kitchen. there's a root cellar and an attic. also, a cool office/den/guest room. we'd love to put a piano in that room. i will continue to post pics of the place. it needs some work in places, but the potential is huge.
I LOVE it - that's a home with character. ~If you're thinking of painting, I can tell you from experience, it takes one summer for one woman to paint one 1,600 sq.ft. house ~ but doesn't cost many $s. And so incredibly satisfying!
I love rhododendrons. They grow 'em big in Massachusetts but I hardly see them in my area. I planted one in memory of my father, because he loved them, too but it just didn't last.
A closer look. It's right outside what will be youngest child's room.
Best of all, it's just beginning to bloom. And they're pink!

What a beautiful, old rhody. When that's in full bloom it's going to be magnificent. Great house you're moving into, annie.
the exterior looks a bit different style than the interior. nice shrubbery.
Beautiful! The rhodie is our state flower here in WA!
Will your daughter have to change schools with the move?
