Summer house

I went to the house again. I was in the neighborhood on a legitimate errand and I just wanted to drive by. And then I stopped. There were roses!! Great swathes of roses on the side of the house. And rudbeckia (which I'm not all that fond of, but still) and a million other perennials in sore need of weeding.

So I got out and took pictures with my cell phone until the memory was full, which was four pictures. I thought I'd post them here just for kicks. They're not very good, and they all look a bit like I applied watercolor effects to them, but they'll give you a bit of an idea, I think.


I'll start with the photo of the house that currently appears on the sale site, which is smaller, but has better clarity.







Clearly this is the front of the house.








The north side of the house with arbor through to good sized courtyard.








The south side of the house complete with roses and perennials.








From the back of the north side courtyard into the back yard. The stairs on the left go up to the big deck (newly repainted, thankfully), and behind the little lattice wall, you can see the pond. Beyond that is one half of the yard, which you can see is still quite extensive.









In wandering around in the late afternoon sunlight, I decided that I don't care what the inside looks like after all. With an outside like that, what could it possibly matter? That and I have a million plans for updating and adding on a bit. It's making my head swim. If anyone has, say, $99,000 just sitting around, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.
