Chance Encounters of the House Hunting Kind

I first met James at the open house at I was hosting that he would eventually offer on. James walked in on an accidental whim. He had a list of houses to see that day, and the one I was hosting was not on that list. He was in the area and happened to swing by after seeing my open house sign.

He walked in wide-eyed…”woah, now THIS is the perfect size house for me”. I totally thought he was kidding (we crack up about it now) – 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, oversize lot, 3,011 square feet – definitely big enough for one plus a doggie bestie, Roscoe. Turns out James had big plans for all these rooms – a library/reading room/napping room, a wine cellar, a guest room and of course his master bedroom suite.

After discussing these big plans (and somehow stories of Burning Man mixed in) thus began the beginning of a newly minted friendship…we looked at a few more houses before ultimately he decided to go back to the beginning – the TARDIS of houses (for the non Whovians, larger on the inside than what appears on the outside).

CONGRATULATIONS, JAMES & ROSCOE! I wish you many happy years here!
