I started perusing the Knoxville home sale market again and came across this sweet home. I loved it! Just wish it was not in the city and had some land to it. It had character which is what we're wanting. My furniture would so fit right in too but Jason nixed it because of the location. He's still holding out for a lot with an acre minimum. I'm actually desiring to drive by it tomorrow and since nothing is on the calendar, I think I will. :)
I loved the charm to the kitchen but would definitely tear out that ivy wallpaper. The butcher's hutch was pretty neat too. The living room looks huge. The master bath would need some work though.
I really liked the upstairs landing area. All my school/playroom stuff would fit right there. Then all the kids' bedrooms would be upstairs which would be nice since they're getting older. Hannah and Andrew could have their own rooms and Caleb and Ethan could share one.
I loved, loved, loved the sun room. Jason said we'd HAVE to paint the ceiling light blue like the walls because that's the way all the old front porches in Charleston were done. Know why? Because the light blue color resembles the sky and wasps/bees do not make their nest in the corner of a porch painted that color. Pretty neat, huh?
The back yard with it's already raised garden beds would be perfect for Jason but I wonder if there's more yard for the kids' to play.
I give it a 7 out of 10 for meeting everything I want on my list. 2 car garage, flat big backyard for the kids, and outside the city limits were the big drawbacks to this sweet cottage charmer. But my burning question is why can't I find this gem outside the city limits??

Going back on the market??
Just looking for now. We'll probably wait until spring time.
