While we’re not seriously looking yet, Susan and I enjoy looking at open houses and dreaming. Unfortunately, I don’t know that we will ever find a house that suits us perfectly. The biggest problem is my stupid hobbies; between Star Wars collections, arcade cabinets, videogames, computers, and tons of other junk, I don’t know that we will ever find a house (short of an abandoned Wal-Mart) that could hold it all.
Today however, we came close. While out driving this afternoon we ran across an open house that he just had to stop and look at — 4,700 square foot of heaven. Susan and I have a mental wish list of what our next (and hopefully final) house will have, and boy did this one have it all: two living rooms, an awesome kitchen, a mother-in-law plan, a game room, a home theater room, a study … you name it. Even after walking through the house twice, we couldn’t come up with a single thing it didn’t have — except a reasonable price tag. That’s not to say it wasn’t priced reasonable for what it was, but it was way out of our league.
I don’t know if looking at houses this far our of our league is inspirational or simply depressing.
