You have to go out of your way to do that.

No shame

Only residential unit in an old fire station in the heart of town. Big ceilings + windows with thick walls (quiet), right in the heart of the main strip.

Love: Location, size of the lot, solid brick construction, perfect layout, curb appeal.
There are only 2 (full) baths though. A third one would be ideal, even a powder room. The house is also all-electric. I wish we had gas for heat. We switched from oil to a heat pump and the winter utility bills are high.

I love everything about my home, neighbors and location to our work. The only thing I hate is that it's now a failing school and I didn't realize how bad that would be for my kids. It was a good school when we moved in before we got pregnant.

Pros: It's bright and airy yet cozy, great floor plan and just the right size (2400 sqft) and amount of space, storage, bedrooms.

Cons: It's a cookie cutter 90s suburbs home like in the old Lifetime movies, and we won't ever update it (not really worth it).

Downside: It smells "lived in". Not a bad smell... it's the smell if a lot of normal sized, middle class family homes. Hopefully y'all know what I'm talking about.

I like the lived in smell (not a stink or uncleanly). It's homey.

Sunny and warm

Lack of storage

It's a beautiful, historic home.

Which means little to no storage. I would love a full mud room/laundry room (not laundry closet), and an office that doesn't double as a bedroom.

Pros: location and I think the inside is well decorated.

Cons: it’s old and tiny.

Waiting for our kids to be out of the house in a few years and then we’re either going to move or tear down.

yes we have cozy space and open spaces. whatever you feel like experiencing throughout the day

The large homes don't look cozy but maybe they are inside?

Tie: mudroom that goes along two walls and holds or washer and dryer, spa-style main bath with heated floors

Ceiling in main room is 18 ft tall at the top. We have to hire people to change lights.
