Sochi, I really would consider it if I thought DH would ever actually leave this area. Every time I mention it or show him something I have found, he says he loves the house...being in PA near where I grew up would afford us the chance to eat at one of our favorite spots regularly (yes, ded, you know where that is!)...that it would be great to live on the water...the FLW house is amazing and he loves the way it sits on the land...It would be perfect to live in the country in France...but in reality, I don't think he would ever go along with it. Sometimes, I really get irritated, but I sort of get it and he has many ties in this area. Maybe someday, I will get my own place-some little space away from the hustle and just come back for visits! ;)

What a great house! I love the windows, the expanse, the split levels (yes!!!), the entry door, the stone, the paneling, and even the railing & the dangerous half wall. I like the bathroom even, though I'd switch out the oval sink for a rectangular one (integrated bowl, some kind of solid surface again; I prefer the look of rectangular sinks in contemporary homes). It would be a nice house for a child: the overlooks to "spy" on people, the hallway to nowhere -- great play spot. Looks like there's a nice balance between private nooks and public, interactive space. You could retreat to the LR with a book without being completely cut off from the family watching sports in the FR. I had a house like that once, and I loved that aspect of it. Is the entry floor vinyl? It's not awful looking, but perhaps it could be done better. The parquet floor in the DR -- a little fussy, but I'd keep it & try to work with it. The recessed cans along the walls are wonderfully atmospheric, but I wonder how dark the rest of the rooms are & how they could be lighted without cluttering the rooms with lamps. The house looks to be in excellent shape, judging from the photos. Yes, I'd buy it. This post was edited by awm03 on Wed, May 29, 13 at 11:10

It’s interesting to see how people really live in a FLW home. This home is interesting to me in that it doesn’t seem to have as many built-Ins as I would normally expect to see - or maybe they’re just not showing us those areas. The St. Charles kitchen is great. Love the sofa modified to sit on the stairs! Maybe it’s the brick color, or the general expansiveness of the whole thing that makes it seem not-so-typically FLW to me. It it’s still lovely, and appears to be in excellent shape.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve always enjoyed touring FLW homes. We have one in our town that I’ve been in a few times over the years.
