Oh, that's a sweet house. I don't have a childhood home--dad was army so we moved a lot. But a few years ago, a Scout was for sale in our neighborhood. Dad drove a Scout for about seventeen years, starting when I was three. It was less than 2k. I really kind of wanted to buy it. It made no sense, but I longed for it. Dh even said I could, but it made no sense.

That's a pretty house, well, except for the pink room? Was that your room? ;-)

The house oozes happiness! What a nice opportunity to revisit your home!

That's a great house. I see it's under contract, so maybe it's not to be at this time.

My first childhood home is still standing, but my grandmother's on the next block has been demolished.

Lovely kitchen. Are those the original cabinets? Original floor in the kitchen?

That's so cool, Oakley! Isn't it fun to be able to go back and "revisit" your childhood home, if only in photos? I wish I could see into the three homes my family lived in when I was growing up, and sometimes I search the real estate listings just in case one of them has gone on the market (hasn't happened yet). I have been able to see a couple of places where I lived as an adult - one home, which I loved so much, was completely remodeled and flipped, and it was such a surprise to see it wearing "new clothes", so to speak!

Is that black and white tile floor in the bathroom original? It's gorgeous.

What fond memories you must have. The house is darling.

Thank you! Some friends and I visited the owners about 3 years ago, sweet young couple who had just bought it and were still fixing the house up. I think they flip houses because they made a good profit off the sale.

The wood floors upstairs look the same. Downstairs we had carpet but wood was underneath.

The upstairs bathroom, they moved the sink a bit, and nothing is original. No picture of the downstairs bath though.

Not the same cabinets in the kitchen. I'm stumped at my old bedroom though. It was a large room with three closets. The first picture I can tell that's my room because they took the door off the the "closet" with only shelves. The door to the left is a walk-in closet with two rooms. My friends and I would go in there and smoke. heh

The second picture of the red room, I have no clue because the colors are different and I didn't have a linen closet. I don't know why they didn't take a picture of the whole room, it was great.

The large bedroom was my parents. It used to have a sink in there. As we got older they took a bedroom downstairs and put a pool table in their room for us kids.

The other room looks to be my brother's room which was tiny, but there wasn't a door outside of the room! I have that house memorized so I'm at a total loss.

My best memory is using the sun room as my summer bedroom. I would lay in there and read late at night.

That deck and the trellis fence was added-on. We had a beautiful rock patio with a concrete picnic table and bench built in. I can't see any of it in the picture. It looks trashy.

It looks like someone took out the bathroom in the basement.

What angers me is the house is on a large corner lot. We played touch football in the large yard next to the house. But someone added a concrete driveway. I'm still shocked.

What a darling house. I be tempted to buy it and restore it to its full glory.

I think it's almost there, dedtired. About 5-6 years ago I saw it was for sale from foreclosure and it was horrid inside. The young couple who's selling it now really did a bang up job. Looks like the only thing left is my old bedroom. lol.

They were so sweet to let us come inside. When I and a bunch of my friends were in high school, we took a group picture on my front steps. All of us met p for a reunion (just us, not a class reunion) and went to the house and the couple let us take a current picture in the same poses. Everyone was there except my brother. His death is what brought us all together via facebook. :)

After looking at the house again, I finally figured out my bedroom. The first red picture is just one corner of my room. The rest of my room is the one with cream walls, brown trim, and blue bedspread. They enlarged the bath next to it which added yet another closet to the room. Which makes 4 closets. Okay, I'm moving!

Sorry to be such a pest, but this brought back so many memories.

That's so cool, Oakley. I definitely enjoyed that.

Since my childhood home is still standing, I wonder if they still have the amazing clawfoot tub we grew up with. It was loooong, and my parents could easily fit 3 kids in it.

I like the old exterior paint better. THEN:

Well~now I'm confused .. I think the realtor posted an old pic...

That's a great house - especially the sun room, staying up & reading late at night.

Gscience, we had a claw foot tub too, but it's gone. Loved taking baths in that thing.

4boys, which website did you get the first picture from? The original color of the house was white with gray shutters.

What confuses me is why did they show a part of my room as red (the one with all shelves and a closet door perpendicular to it), and the other side of the room repainted...the one with the blue bedspread?

Looks like the old garage needs to be torn down! lol

Oak~ It's only under images.https://www.google.com/search?q=721+N+Main+St+Sand+Springs,+OK+74063&biw=1013&bih=663&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis07r30rvLAhUQ2WMKHVmJCKUQ_AUICigE

That looks like a real family house--the kind kids in books lived in, I would have said when I was a kid. We lived in modern tract houses when I was a kid and they never appeared in the books I read, where sleeping porches, porch swings, screen doors that slammed, fireplaces and stairs all seemed like magic to me. I always wanted to live in a house like that :)

4boys, I finally figured it out. Yeah, the realtor really didn't do a good job with pictures, especially my old bedroom.

Maggie, I've dreamed about that house many times. Too bad the pictures didn't include the octagon shaped downstairs hallway which has the built-in linen closet. All the built-in closets were just amazing. I think that's why I dream of it!

But to go back and see it in person along with a tour, that was nice. But it wasn't as big as I remembered it being. lol

Sharon, that's a nice house. Try googling the address and you might find where it was listed for sale at one time or another. That's how I was able to see my house about 5 years ago when it was in foreclosure. Those were sad sad pictures. It looked like blood was splattered on my old bedroom wall. Ick.

Oakley Tried many times to see if it was listed, but no luck.

Is that a recent photo? If you live far away from the house you can always look at it on Google Earth, and GE street image. I have a lot of fun doing that.

I live about 50 miles from it, my SIL lives in the same town so see it quite often.
