[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big is the house? Are the schools decent? Don't beat yourself up so much about where you bought. My husband does this frequently, and it gets frustrating. [/quote]

2500 sq. ft. Dutch colonial which isn't my favorite look. Very small lot - 1/4 acre. Decent schools so at least that is a relief.[/quote]

As others have said, 2500 sq. ft. is not small! Not inside the Beltway. Where is this? What do you expect living in a metropolitan area? If you want more square footage, you either need to move out to an exurb, or back to the Midwest, or get rich.

Before you mentioned the size of your house, I thought I could relate because we have been renovating a <1400 sq. ft. bungalow in Upper NW for the past three years. But knowing the size of your house... I really don't think you need to worry that your house will still be "small and old" once you put 150K into it. Plenty of people in this area consider 2500 sq. ft. a good size house, and appreciate if it is nicely updated.[/quote]
