Feng Shui

I just found out that someone else made a good offer on the contemporary that I 'm interested in.  So I have to decide tomorrow whether to make an offer.

"you want a good return on your investment" said a realtor at an open house in Colchester.  "Dream big and go big" said someone else, a friend who seems to live by those words.

The Contemporary seems to have good enough feng shui. Here are more shots of the lead contender!

Below, a work area in garage

The downstairs guest bathroom

Staircase at front entry

below is the larger of the two basement rooms.  windows look out on the lawn which is mostly mossy gravel in that area.

 Below is the smaller of the two basement rooms.  Lots of closet space.  Windows look out to an area that is beneath the raised deck.  Nice tile!

Hard to tell, but below is front entry looking up to chandelier.

Great Room at night.  Glittery lights of Vernon off in the distance.  They won't be visible in summer when trees fill in.

Eating area.  To the very left is what I would call a wine nook. To the far left is master bedroom. Yes, right off the dining area!

The upstairs half-bath/laundry.

Below is the upstairs study.

Below is an area I'm not sure what to call yet. It's between the dining and great room.

Next, here are other houses for sale that I've driven by, and given more than one second of consideration!

Below is a Cape of some sort which I drove by.  Picture it looking more grand painted red with fancy trimmings!  For starters though, the windows looked pretty old and probably need replacing.

Below is a charmer on Neptune Ave. in Moodus.  The street is nondescript and down the street are a couple abandoned businesses.   But what  is not fun about the address itself, Neptune Ave, Moodus 

Back to the main condender!

Looking down the hill, the property goes all the way to those other green lawns.

 The driveway is really the only thing that stands out as needing work at some point.

Panoramic view!

Front entry way , brick lined with timbers!

Garage work space

Below is door leading from garage, to downstairs hallway and the two downstairs rooms, guest bathroom, and entryway stairs.

The first drive-by, Colchester last summer.  I don't think it's on the market now.

Last December, the morning of my holiday card photo

Ice jams on Connecticut River, after most of it melted.  It was a big news story there for a while.

For Sale in Hebron.  It's a Colonial style which isn't for me.  Feng Shui just isn't there.
