[quote=Anonymous]Cynically, I could say it was sheer exhaustion. We had looked for months, bid on 6 other houses, and were at the point of having to rent soon if we didn't buy something right away. This house met our requirements about size, location and such, but there were downfalls too - work that needed to be done, an underwhelming kitchen and yard, etc. But what made it "the one" was the feeling the first time we walked through the place. It sounds silly, but the house had so much soul. Stunning old windows, a beautiful stone fireplace, narrow gauge wood floors, built ins and fixtures that were almost a hundred years old. The house was empty and a little raw, but it felt like HOME so much more than the more perfect places we saw. I do wish I'd though harder about the compromises, but I love our house and am grateful we jumped on it as soon as it hit the market![/quote]
