    The last house was beautiful. The corner lot offered a lot of curb appeal. We made a mistake building a bigger house after our house fire. I now regret having four thousand square feet to take care off. Our home has three and a half baths and five bedrooms. There are only my hubby and I and his mother, dad passed a few years ago. They moved in with us back in 2008 due to health issues. We love our home but it is a lot to take care of. Good luck on your house hunting. You will know which one is right for you.

    I would be so stressed looking at homes. I’m going with the last home. The selling point for any house for me would be the window placements. I’ve always liked the corner windows over the sink👍

    I vote for #5. It has a lot of personality and beautiful sunlight coming through. The kitchen is very attractive and the upstairs playroom would be great for the grand kids. It would be nice to have your master on the main floor (as you age…). David is correct, it is very charming and appears quite solid.

    House #5 is the one I would pick….it’s charming, master bedroom on first level, corner lot, nice yard, large room upstairs for grandchildren to play, also grandchildren could sleep in sleeping bags in the same room, nice kitchen, close to where you lived before. House #2…the pine trees are a no, they drip sticky sap, pine needles & pinecones are messy & too much of a risk of the trees falling during a storm.
    The best thing I saw though was David’s pink 🩷 socks when he walked upstairs 😊

    I normally wouldn't comment, however, since you are asking.. I love the curb appeal of #5 plus it had some nice trees landscaped out in front and some nice flowering smaller trees in the backyard. The front beds could use some more landscaping against the front of the house - but that's fun and easy to do. House #2 had the pine tree that will always ruin your lawn - not a lot you can do about that. You seem to do a lot with your family - distance is something to really consider. In the end, do what feels best for you both and your families. It's easy to be an armchair critic from where we sit. LOL

    I’ve bought 14 houses for whatever my experience is worth. #1 no separate shower in master bath? Very small kitchen with limited storage, why hide a wet bar? No # 2 love that utility room. Master downstairs is great. Extra rooms upstairs are a bonus. 2 fireplaces! Exterior and yard nice. Wonderful house. #3 love that family room with the bar. No to shared driveway. Too much updating needed. No. #4love the floors. Double ovens. You’ll like that stove. I have one. Big formal dining. Love the front door. Master down is great, huge closets. Yard is fine. #5 Love the exterior. Yes to everything else! Huge formal dining for all the family. Like the back entry and yard is great. Wonderful house. Unique.
    Well obviously #2 and #5 are my favorites. #6 closest to old house we didn’t see.
    Quit worrying about the 45 min drive!! Truly you can’t go wrong with either of the houses you like. Just my two cents but be careful not to look at too many houses. You can get so confused, overwhelmed. I think you’ve found 2 winners. To compromise, if one of you has a serious objection about something in either house, that should weigh heavily in your decision. You both want to be happy. If you don’t need the second look, decide quickly and make an offer so it doesn’t get away. I’m excited for you. Both are lovely homes!

    #4 House;...I liked the intro from the outside walk up too. 🤔That double oven location in a pass through didn't seem feng shui. 🤔. I did like the front far parlor off the living room and kitchen. And yes, not being introduced immediately to a stairway to what to me is the removed more personal space of the house makes more sense. Yes, the first floor seemed open and welcoming but enough turns that it's not too open that the unexpected visitors see all the way through. Yeah. I liked that too. I rate it Worth considering. The office/library off foyer to the opposing living spaces but convenient to entrance? I like that. Now, I see one master bdrm down and far left too, beyond that office side of house. That felt separate and convenient. I like that too Hmm? Needs a few things? Great!!! Use for price negotiation. I am leaning towards #4. I am.

    Were there 4 or 5 houses? House #1 reminds me of a flip. Mismatched hollow core doors. Walls have rough spots like they were poorly repaired. #2 is nice. #3 Can't remember because they are all grey inside. #4 I like wood floors. Carpet holds humidity and odors. I like the yard. I know that you like to use the garage for a UA-cam room. Could you extend the garage forward for a garage? #5 I like as much as #4. Love the added room in attic for kids. I really like the interior layout of #5 because it is different. Remember to consider fenced in backyards for Jack Jack. Love the curb appeal of #5. Nobody has ever said "I have too much room". Easier to keep a larger house neat because there is more storage space. Small works if you have no kids or grandkids. How much longer before you retire? Don't base your decision on a job location that will last only 5 yrs or less.

    I really liked 2, but then when I saw 5, I like it the best. I would ask how far David has to drive to work every day.

      For now, I only "have" to drive into the Medical Center two days a week. There are some weeks where it's 4 days but not many.
