Because sometimes, going out, is really going in. Moral of the story: Go out and stare at something pretty this weekend. The ad that initially lured them to the place read…īut in the end, the feel of it was definitely what captivated them the most… It was apparent that this room had also seen some “modernizing” over the years, but I’m pretty sure Kansel and Letel had the same feeling about what could be done to that sheetrock, if one was equipped with safety gear and a sledgehammer. White-painted metal cabinets lined both sides of the room, and an enormous tiled-topped island floated in the center. Through door #2, they found a long enclosed porch, which stretched all the way to the other side of the house…ĭirectly in front of the back porch, they found the kitchen… Through door #1 in that room, they found a large, semi-updated bathroom. This room, however, had been outfitted with a drop-ceiling at some point…Ĭonnected to that room, and located in the back left corner of the house, they found more hardwood flooring, another drop ceiling, and some wild wall paneling… Through the hallway, and in the middle of the left side of the house, they found another room with hardwood floors and a fireplace. On the front right corner of the house, they found more hardwood flooring, another original fireplace (not shown), and another 15-pane french door, complete with original glass doorknob…Īttached to that room, and located in the midde of the house, they found more hardwood flooring, another fireplace (that someone had obviously attempted to “modernize”), and more high ceilings…12-footers, Kansel guessed.

Visions of a radiant-meets-rustic guest house and a coop full of pretty chickens began dancing in Letel’s happy head.īut after discovering the big cinderblock building to the left was positively swarming with hundreds of carpenter bees… They also found four old outbuildings speckled across the backyard. To the right of the spot they parked their car, they found a small arbor covered in muscadine vine…Īnd as they made their way around the back of the house, they discovered the driveway they came in on conveniently wrapped itself all the way around and shot straight back up to the main road…
…and tucked just fifteen minutes away from the interstate, they came upon the lovely little house they had read about… They passed many a horse-dotted pasture along the way… Once upon a time, a curious couple named Kansel and Letel decided to take a little drive and see about a hobby farm they saw advertised for sale…
