Fell in love with the porches and that was it. Done deal. Loved how deep they are, how relaxing, and peaceful. As we were fixing up the house, we uncovered some beautiful aspects that had been covered up. Whether it was the arch found under a ceiling, or the actual height of the ceiling that had been hidden by a drop down ceiling (iew) The newspapers we found from 1941 when we took off the carpet and linoleum up from the floors, the actual pot to cook in that was found in the wall. The list goes on and on - Oh and the glass bottles we found in the basement! So many interesting discoveries. One of the most interesting is that it was originally a boarding house back in the 1800's. And yes, we have heard noises that cannot be explained. But, it seems that "everyone" is friendly. lol
