House Shopping..... *Update! Third and Final House Added*

Appygurl01 · 08-22-2006, 02:07 PM

For about 3 years now, my Husband and I have been searching for a house out of the state of Michigan. We really wanted to move down to Kentucky, because his mom lives down there and shes got altzheimers (SP?). So we looked for a LONG time and we pretty much narrowed it down to 3 houses, and I would like your honest opinion on them. Thanks, Becca.

My vote is for #1 also....I like brick houses alot and I LOVE the tree lined drive...how beautiful in the fall. And you said you wanted honest opinions so dont get mad when I say that I dont like the pool area...it looks sort of steril (if thats the right word Im looking for)....not a big deal though, you can spruce that up in no time with a nice fence, lots of flowers, and some great outdoor furniture

Other than that though, the rest looks good.
