Our Dream House is For Sale

I don't think we're at a place where we can tackle a project this big unfortunately am I [Laughter] wrong I'm just thinking about our whole life it's not moving far which is good [Music] chivalry I wasn't even sure that we were going to share this because I know the flak that we're going to get for it but sometimes in life opportunities arise and you just have to forget about all the what ifs and just explore the opportunity Chris and I love to just drive around and look at houses I think that's a normal activity it's mostly to get inspiration see what people are planting um just like fun and we drove through our favorite neighborhood and this was about a year ago and there was this beautiful brick house and we're like oh oh and it was on a lake on the lake we were like that would be a house that if it ever came up for sale like that would make us move within the same area you know but we would move anyway 3 days ago it came up for sale so we we called our realtor and we were like we have to go look at this house if for nothing else so that we don't keep wondering what if yeah I feel [Music] sick crap [Music] [Music] yeah go right in in the front door um that was the owner I talked to directly he's an agent himself [Music] oh beautiful dining room nice and large and open this is a great kitchen face him out oh my goodness look at my Charmy living room gor this is just I mean this is where going to just sit all day long it's like a covered Outdoors I'm just processing everything that was so funny I certainly didn't expect your text that was that was great it looks like the neighbor so they have a our house so much they have a pool over here as well you can see it's built up with stone on the bottom I know I really feel like like right here would be a great have a little spot water slide water slide there you go oh my gosh it is so beautiful in here I want all the furniture too they have some really great Furniture yeah love that chair right there that's I know this is so cute this yeah sofa it's a little like of an odd shape but I think that it makes it really Charming there they put like a little wet bar here I love this so much WoW fireplace how many firl are there I think got two right here this one that one and I think there's expor I don't think we explored any this view is just that's crazy well it keeps going oh wow this seems like a guest maybe like a guest bedroom Yes master is on the second floor so this has to be good wow I love the shower cage actually some it's not been used very often it's not here's the garage look at the car wood panel he it's like '90s but like really really really nice yeah that's awesome you want to go at the back let's go at the front SE go up the front we'll come back down this way these PS I know stairs have that off the primary this you for sure could make SC them yes this is not too shabby huh wow how beautiful it is so peaceful there are so many windows in a fireplace look at how tall this bed is there are steps leading up to the bed on this side which I almost need oh wow not that different from our current that is quite something this is a cool this is a nice space though you can really yeah really work the closet is nice and big storage that's cute carpet in the bathroom love it yeah cute this is where you come up from the kitchen I love this Gallery M this is this is laundry in here how can you imagine say St stuff up here another set of stairs a lot more sters big closet this looks like a Jack and Jill okay there's a nice little sink here B and PA yeah it's nice to they each s so much you could do with it I love how wide these staircases are the views are incredible yeah that's views hard to be I do wish that it like went down to the lake yeah this first floor I just love mhm like the bedroom situation that's where it gets to like impractical for us but I know even like cooking in the kitchen and you like can look out at the lake I have a grandfather clock which what did I say I want a grandpa walk down on that other SE this is the spot here it also feels like a law yeah yeah I love this house and like I love this so much but like do I love like what I love the feeling of our house and I think it would take so much to get this house to that point for sure I don't think we're at a place where we can tackle a project this big unfortunately my [Laughter] WR I'm just thinking about our whole life it's not moving far which is good so out here we love what about the house I love the first floor I mean I I think all the spaces are great yeah but they need like complete completely done yeah which is what we do right but for some reason this feels like a lot I'll be interested to see if and when somebody purchases this because this isn't in most people's wheelhouse like it is yours to do that kind of stuff and it it needs a lot of work and a lot of money to bring it up to it's also a it's also a family house it is it is yeah so it would H I'm like it would have to be some One Like Us yeah but I also love the charm and I would like not I would hate to see someone take away like all the charm it's also got me thinking maybe I should paint my windows tan and not blue this is the color of our brick it's exactly the color of our brick I love this area so much we'd have to just put a desk in that front fr it's actually smaller than our C house I think theable space is yeah yeah I agree which I like I like that you go up those stairs that's the bonus room yeah the girls bedroom's on the third floor I don't love that yeah well thanks Sean it's good to see you again you guys have any questions let me know it's just like can I imagine us here of course but I I don't know why I just like I I just I don't think I can leave our house the right time it's just I love our house so much we've done so many amazing things with it we're finally able to live we're finally just able to like live yeah and I think like that's what we need right now and I think this is like one of those alternate universe type things like in an alternate universe we live there we live here and I think we would be happy just like we're happy now like we're not not happy in our house right so right it is a heartbreaker though because it would be fun to like live out that reality like it would be so fun to like live that out but for sure I know you love that view though oh the view was just it's like balm for my soul when I was walking through you know a lot of times when I when we go through a house where we look at a house or a property when we are actually ready for it you can tell because when we're talking through the things that we can do there's like excitement about it's like oh we could do this we could do this and as we were talking through the things you could do in that house so many things you could do but as we talked through it I was like I felt like a wait almost like yeah I just am not equipped to handle that right now with everything else going on it's also like if we were talking about a vacation house I think it would feel different sure but this would be like this is like move out of move out of our house and into this house and that's like heavy yeah the whole process yeah which is which I love to feel that because when we were at this position with our Idaho Falls house we were so so excited to move yeah out of that house that we had worked so hard on and we were so proud of right but it wasn't the con like it actually didn't feel like home the way our house right now feels when we move out of this house we'll have that feeling yeah we'll H we'll have that feeling but I also feel like it's going to be a downsize oh yeah like when we move out our down square feet you know yeah it's just it's it's not our house it's it's not the one that got away no not the one that got away at all that feels good
