Houses

We looked at four houses today.  Two were Cape Cod style houses one with a teeny tiny kitchen.  (It is smaller than any kitchen we have ever had since the girls were born.)  Cookie baking day in there?  Not possible.  Another one was in really nice condition, and we should have liked it, but we totally didn't.  It had a nice kitchen cute bedrooms with slanted ceilings (how fun is that?)  There is a little playhouse in the back, and a detached garage and a fun walk-in basement, nice size lot, but meh, just didn't connect with it. 
Another house was across the street from an active railroad track.  (Like I could throw a baseball from the front door and hit the tracks).  The carpets were disgusting and I have a high tolerance for dirty.  In the backyard there was an old broken down pool and a trampoline in similar condition.  Nope.
Then there was this house built in the 60's and hasn't been updated at all.  It has the original dark gold oven, hardwood floors with paint all over them.  (like they painted with no drop cloths)  tiny 1 car garage, (if the car isn't very big) no dishwasher and one of the cabniet doors was just sitting in front of the cabinet.  I don't know what it was, but everyone LOVED it.  I'm sure the agent thinks we are crazy, but seriously we walked in and just were so excited about it.  Weird.  An advantage would be with the condition that it is in now, it isn't like the landlord could complain about wear and tear on the property when we move out.
