Ours doesn't have as much original detail as we'd like, and the kitchen will have to go, but most of the renovations were nicely done. <BR/><BR/>We can't really afford to live there either, but are banking on the property value blowing up down the road. Our Towson house tripled in value in 10 years (at least we're HOPING it did). If the same happens in Bolton Hill we'll be pleased to say the least. In the meantime, we'll be eating Oodles of Noodles.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1161180744755324972006-10-18T10:12:00.000-04:002006-10-18T10:12:00.000-04:00J used to live on Eutaw between Druid Hill LPD (th...J used to live on Eutaw between Druid Hill LPD (that road name is too effin' long) and North.

She did exactly that, and pestered us about buying it for 24 hours. <BR/><BR/>Now that we're putting a contract on the place, however, she is starting to complain about us ditching her. I told her to move in with us and leave her husband behind in Towson, and she laughed and laughed. They're one row over from the Frats, and are a bit hard-of-hearing to boot, so they don't really care. Ours is the last un-rented property in that row of 12 houses. On their side there are mostly families who own. <BR/><BR/>No piles of stuff! No more! I can't take it, and I'm sure piles of stuff contribute to insomnia (sometimes, moronically, I lie awake at night thinking of her piles of stuff).<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking: Game Room with one card table and four chairs and nothing else, Music Room with my guitars and Cha's art teacher rhythmic instruments and no furniture whatsoever, Library with books and nothing else, Master Bedroom with only a bed. Hmmm, that only leaves four more large rooms to furnish, not counting the upstairs which we hope to rent. Jesus. I think Gertrude Stein lived in one of these houses at one point. She probably filled it with elegant furnishings and Picassos.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we're getting ahead of ourselves with such talk! Thanks for the luck--we'll need it.<BR/><BR/><STRONG>*</STRONG>Cha was not hesitant to ditch them at all. She's more American than I in that respect.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1161098189991581332006-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:002006-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:00I can't even believe you're asking how you will fu...I can't even believe you're asking how you will furnish the rooms. Obviously you will furnish them with Cha's piles of stuff! :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck. The house is so pretty!<BR/><BR/>EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
