Old Ontario Homes (previously why NOW?!)

Whyyyyy couldn't this house be for sale 5-10 years from now?! Blerg.






6 bedrooms, 1 and a half bath, all original woodwork, nearly 7 acres.

It's about 10 minutes away from my house. I drive by it everyday on my way to and from work, and I always admire it. And yesterday, a for sale sign popped up in front of it. Grr...

I reaaaallly hope they have an Open House. I will definitely be snooping if they do!

Hey, at least your dream house wasn't bequeathed to your employer (a college) who is now letting it sit and fall apart...

Oooh my goodness that would drive me bonkers...

Yeah, especially since it was on sale when we bought our current house (which we love, but it's not our dream house), but priced past the point where we could rationalize going that far over budget, especially considering the work that it needed -- we didn't even go look at the inside (though we drooled over the pictures), because we knew we'd fall in love and want to make irrational decisions. What kills us now is realizing that maybe they WOULD have considered accepting an offer way below (and I do mean WAY below) their asking price (and nearer to our budget), considering that they donated it to the college just a few months later.

That is a beautiful house, especially the entry!

weird to see a hall like that without radiators. why would they pile so much stuff in front of the front door?

nice looking house though

Well, look on the bright side. People usually move on average every seven years, so in just shy of a decade there is a good chance it will go up for sale again and then you can make your move!

Great house.
