There is certainly nothing wrong with the place I am buying. (I am just a sucker for anything that is different & unique) The new house has features that I really don't care about myself, but are so popular with the buying market. I can't swim, so I really don't care about the upkeep of a pool. (I like a juccazzi like I have now) but people coming down from the North - think they want a pool. I cetainly don't care about a fireplace, (especially wood burning - so messy) but Floridians are crazy about them, because they don't see many of them here. But, the master bath is a knockout and very impressive. The canal system is extremely popular, and that is what I was looking for. The new house canal goes for miles, including 5 lakes. Mine was more limited.
But, I got it bought right. It is as big as the house I have now - but just not as unique & unusual. The kitchen is huge & with the sunken family room with fireplace at the end of it. When I get done redecorating it, it will be light and airy like a Florida home is supposed to be.:-) and give me something to keep me busy. (Semi - retirement can get a little tedious with no projects to work on.) Guess I will have to start a new page on Faysplace.com with before and after pics...ahahahaha
