New House

After four months of drama, we closed escrow yesterday on our dream house. It’s a bit of a wreck at the moment — lots of deferred maintenance, overgrown landscaping, and, irritatingly, trash left by the previous owner. But we will plug away. Here’s a shot of the exterior that I took a few weeks ago.

And here is my favorite picture of the house. It was taken in the 1930s (the house was built in 1927) and was featured in the brochure for the Historic Highlands home tour in 2003. We hope to restore the house to its former beauty.
