The One That Got Away

Way back when I posted about my current dream home, well it sold and rightly so (asking price 100k, 5 bedrooms, 2,500 sq ft.). A couple of weeks ago while out in South Norfolk I drove down Rodgers Street to longingly gaze at it and lo and behold (I know I said lo, who says that?) the empty space/lot next to it had a house on it!

My 'love' is on the right.

The owners of the one that got away have done some improvements (like that new front door) that I really like but I can't get over the fact that there's another house next to it. I do not love that at all. One of the many things I liked about the house was the spaciousness next to it. I don't know if the lot was included with the house. Maybe the people who bought it were surprised by the new construction. If the lot was included I can see how the folks who bought it might have sold it for the obvious money-making opportunity but if it had been me I don't think I could have done it.

Before.

I really want a single family home (i.e. detached) and I don't mean but I can still lean out of my window and touch the house next door.

Well, at least now I'm not so sad about not getting the Rodgers house.
