Sunny and Brisk

This morning it was a brisk 40 something degrees, perfect for taking a walk and not sweating!  I remember the days before menopause when I was always freezing, NOT anymore!  See there’s always something good with everything!  Anyway, my truck had an appointment for a fix so Sophie and I got in and drove down the street and around the corner to drop it off and then we strolled home. 
I’m pretty lucky to live in such a beautiful town in New England!  Fall is one of my favorite times if the year because it’s cooler and so pretty with the leaves color.
I happen to also live on a gorgeous old time street where most of the homes are old farm houses with great barns.  I LOVE old barns and homes. 
So our walk home was beautiful.  I snapped a few pictures of a few of my favorites.  Even if they could use a new coat of paint or some love, they are still beautiful!  
Although most of the homes on my street are loved and lived in we do have a couple that need some love. 
This town owned house sure could use a nice family to make it a home!  And I’m not sure what’s up with this one,
I know it’s not vacant even tho it kinda looks like it is. I guess for now it’s a good thing that it’s kinda hidden behind all the over grown bushes!  

 

Sophie says “Thanks for taking me for a walk!”  Enjoy this awesome day!

VintageChicResale “1778 Walkey Estate” Tour

Way back in 2001 I was on the prowl for a “New Home”. I was living in a gorgeous old victorian home in Brockton, but just didn’t feel like I was “home”. One night, very late at night and lost coming home from the cape looking at houses, I was driving down this street & my headlights hit this for sale sign and this very interesting looking cape home. I stopped, backed up & investigated the property from the light of my car headlights and thought, I have to check this out when I get home. I wrote down the real estate office phone number and because I am myself a realestate broker, I went online and immediately found the house! To my dismay, it was out of my price range. I decided something was drawing me to this house so I made an appointment to look at it. I figured this house is calling me because it was in a town I didn’t have on my list and I was lost and just happen to stumble upon it. To make a long story very short, I fell in love with all the faults of the house and now live here. Everyone thought I was crazy to want to move from my big beautiful victorian to this small 1778 fixer upper. It desperatley needed a new roof and both bathrooms needed to be redone. There were not toilets, or kitchen sink or appliances, etc. But I felt so cozy and comfortable here, it felt like this was where I was meant to be. Moving day was the most crazy day I have had in a long time! My daughter was in the hospital in labor having my 2nd granddaughter! Between one of the runs, I was called to the hospital for the delivery. On top of that, the house we were moving from wasn’t a definate closing until the very last minute and so because it was the week of Christmas & the uncertainty of the move, I hadn’t finished packing! Then after being in this huge house for more than 7 years you forget how much stuff you actually have! It took us a week and a half to get everything out of the old house and into the new house. Most of the stuff didnt fit in the 1778 doorways so it got put in the barn and the garages until we could either get rid of it or figure out how to squeeze them into to the house! The end of this month will be my 6th year here and I couldnt be happier! I love my house and I love the neighborhood and my neighbors. I dont think I could have found a better place to move to!
