First pictures...

Beautiful blooming Bradford Pears in downtown Owensville.....Our house coming toward it from the west. The top window will be a bedroom...3 up and a bath. The bottom 3 windows will be our living/family room. The bow windows in front are the foyer/parlor.
The house from the front. We can't wait to fix up the front porch and relocate that ugly DISH! We are going to put shutters on some of the front windows. All the upstairs bedrooms have one regular window and one dormer.


Some architectural detail (for Uncle Larry!)


A little playhouse/tree house in the back. That is for Luke and Ella....I guess the renters are going to take what is in there...it does need some work!




The pond and fountain which is not working but which we will get working!




Flowers in the front garden.....



The house from the east side. The back sun porch are the only windows which have not been replaced....we will do that.


The house from the back alley. You can see the back patio and the toys the renters have left. We assume that they are coming back for another load tonight. Our back yard is pretty nice...we have a blooming tree of some kind!

The house and garage and storage building from the east side....the out buildings do need some work.

  1. It looks like it has been through a number of remodels--as the wife of an architect who has held many a tape, I'm guessing late 19th c. with originally a wrap around porch and the front door somewhere else. Have fun!
