    Love that house also. My best friend in Mass. has one like that in white. Love her house, it even has a dumb-waiter in the dining room. So cool.

    s house is for sale for $90,000 and I fell in love with it. Not sure I would want to move to KC MO though. Can I move it to Vermont?

    "Incredible Queen Ann Victorian. Wonderful fireplaces, pocket doors, original woodwork, porte cochere, balconies, stained glass, butler's pantry. " 5 BR, 2900 sq. ft.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Sounds lovely. With one small exception..notice something necessary missing?


    Personally, I like my bathrooms inside the house.

    Oh my... I often dream of a lovely Stickley Craftsman...or a Victorian...probably on the West coast, Northern Cali or Washington.

    I always loved the "Walton" house on the TV show! OK, so I'm weird, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!!

    Oh well, if we can have two, then my other choice (besides the Tudor style that no one else seems to like) would be a Spanish Colonial style where the rooms surround an inner courtyard. Again, high ceilings. Cool tile floors, the red curly-tiled roof (whatever it's called), a wrought iron gate, huge wooden doors with studs and metalwork, wonderful arches... the courtyard would have orange and mango trees, and of course flowers.
