A Favourite Historic District Home

I love the curvaceous beauty of this welcoming home, quite unlike the straighter lines of the majority in this neighbourhood. This house was for sale (for a long time) a couple of years ago, and I had to wonder why someone didn't grab it immediately! No, I don't know what they were asking for it, and I've never known the owners. I wish I'd been a Lookie Lou when it was on the market! For now I'll reflect on the welcoming entry, the beautiful porch and the little stained glass windows. At this hour, with the setting sun filtering in through the trees, I know the shadow patterns must be gorgeous! ...I'll let you know if I ever get an introduction...

A beautiful Victorian like house. The lighting highlights it so nicely. Maybe you could knock on the door and meet the owners.

[Rick Schies]

That is definitely quite the stunning home, a lovely huge porch, so inviting and warm. It has its own unique charm

[Margaret Obey]

You are so right Louise. The curves are wonderful. I also love the shadows on the wall from the framing trees. A fav

Stunning capture with the late light! Just knock on the door as a friendly neighbour :)

Looks like a gorgeous home, but I don't fancy the winters up that way!

[Anita Campbell]

Gorgeous. I'd love to see inside that home too. Wonder if it is furnished in the style of the home.

Gorgeous house, even lovelier lighting and composition!

[Suzie Townsend]

You are right - what a gorgeous home! I would love to sit on that porch and have my morning coffee. I always want to see inside homes - an old habit from my real estate sales days. I bet this is a beauty! Maybe someday you will meet the owners and they will invite you in!

[Gillian]

Wow, what a fabulous house! It looks pretty much closed up tho. I love the porch.

[Diana Moss]

A very attractive looking house , I can see why you would look to look round inside , May be you could show the owners this beautiful photograph ?

[Allison Williams]

Love your phrase, "curvaceous beauty" to describe this house! It is certainly a welcoming image, the sort of house you would like your grandparents to live in so you could visit them and enjoy all the family traditions.

@snowy Funny you should say that... I have returned in the past to hand out photos, and I've met some lovely people in that fashion... (In a town this size, a couple well-placed inquiries will tell me a bit more about the tenants...)

[Louise & Ken]

@allie912 Good morning, Allie! Actually, my grandmother DID live in a big old home with a wrap-around porch in the small rural town of Danforth, south of Chicago... It was those summer memories (and a an IL home we lived in a brief while) that had me longing to own an old house someday. It wasn't happening in SoCa, so when it all came together up here...you know the rest of the story!

[Laerke Thorndal]

Wow, it looks straight out of a fairy tale :)

[Constance Brinkley]

Great photo of this beauty. This is a house is wonderful. I can just vision sitting in a wicker chair on the wrap around deck with my glass of ice tea and my camera ready to snap the passerby. Ahh dreams...

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful photo of this lovely house. We don`t have many to no one wooden houses in Holland . I like this one .

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Louise I agree the house is so welcoming. Maybe you'll be brave enough to knock on the door one day, if you need some company let me know. Love it. FAV
