My fairy God mother helped me find and finance my dream home already(1500 sq. ft. for me, DH, and the fur babies, and my sewing), so I guess I would wish, that you all get your wishes. :thumbup:

I love it too....but 1 bathroom, that would be changed quickly

I always dreamed of a big old farmhouse with a large wraparound porch for my porch swing and a huge kitchen. What I got when we built what we could afford was a small development-style house with a tiny kitchen, no sewing room (had to give it up when kids came along). We did eventually build a deck the length of the house and 12 feet wide onto the back. We sure could use another bathroom. And we are blessed to live out in the country on my family dairy farm. I'm still dreaming of adding on. It never hurts to dream. :wink:

gee, if each member of the qb sent $5.00 then you'd have a great down payment at least. how many members are we?
i would move back to tx, probably austin or san antonio and be sure to have a quilt room. the rest of the money would go to no kill animal shelters.

My husband figured that if 25,000 people gave us $10 then we'd have enough to buy it. LOL

Hey, you could go on ebay and do a "Please Help" auction - ever see those?

Beautiful home, at one time. Pretty expensive for the condition it looks to be in. I love old homes, but I sure don't have the money to repair. You need more like $500k. LOL

Seeing these old beautiful homes with so much history fall into disrepair is sooooo sad. What if the walls could talk?

mine was 1865. if the walls could talk, they'd say - fix me, heat me, paint me, plaster me. if the floors could talk, they'd say- refinish me, tile me, polish me, carpet me. if the ceilings could talk, they'd say - fix me, paint me, replaster me, remold me, i'm falling down.

don't even ask what the plumbing and the electric would say. those houses are evil, i tell you. especially in the new york area. that's why i don't live in one anymore. the heating alone .........

BUT - this house is in ASTORIA, OR. Home of "THE GOONIES". Are you sure this isn't the house they used for the beginning of the movie? That would be the reason for the big ticket price, maybe.
