I'm sorry it was a disappointment! The open space in the photos is beautiful, but in photos it's easy to hide the kind of flaws you found.
In 2005 when we moved into this house (our first single family house) we thought we'd probably move once more. We bought something that we thought would meet our needs long term just in case, and it's a good thing we did! We live in an area where there tend to be two kinds of houses. There are houses like ours which were built in the late 1970's through mid-1980's and there are much newer luxury homes that sell for around $1 million. We could afford to move up to a bigger and nicer home, but we'd still have to stick with the older ones. We're afraid to move into a more expensive house the same age as ours because these houses are reaching an age where they need more costly maintenance. We love our kids' schools too much to move out of the area, and once our kids are grown we'll have no need for the bigger house. So I guess we're here for the long haul!
