That house has fabulous potential--love the servant stairs in the kitchen. I say keep the phone niche, it adds character. You will have fun gutting the kitchen, yes?
Oh goody ! I know where it is , when I get there to visit the baby girl, I will come calling :) I love it. I love the style, the yard, the fencing and gate and that you are still right there in San Marco. Go to Bistro Aix and have a dessert in my name, in your honor :D Congratulations ... when do you move ? Do the dogs like it or have you told them yet ? besos, C
Looks like a great house with a lot of architectural character! Dormers, arched windows, back stairs... geez, if it had pocket doors I would sell my soul for it. I can't wait to see what you do to modernize it. Just be careful with that bump!
Any house with back stairs is awesome. I love the idea of two different ways (one kind of hidden) to the upstairs. Granted it probably dates back to the whole "servants" route being hidden, but I mostly associate it with old-house-charm.
In the eighties, I was a little kid who put together model buildings out of notebook paper and Scotch tape and spent days on end playing Monopoly with my best friend. What I've done over the last decade is pretty much the same thing. I began buying, renovating, and renting dozens of properties during Architecture school, where I mostly learned how to stay awake for six days straight.
Today I'm a new mother married with four dogs and way too many houses along the coasts of Florida. We recently moved into and began working on a three story lake house built in 1928.

That sunroom is GORGEOUS already; I can't wait to see what the home looks like when the wallpaper is gone.
Can someone please reprimand the agent who wrote "beautyful?"

I am officially lost. That is what I get for beging so busy I am not on here enough! I've missed so much. I've got to go back and play catch-up.
Oh man, you're getting a cleaning lady too right?
you know, I kinda dig that wallpaper in the kitchen. I don't care if that's wrong. :)
you're welcome anytime, candice!

Congratulations on finding something. It's gorgeous and I can't wait to see what you do with it. I know it's going to be fantastic.
I'd buy it just for the Valances and Jabots! ;)
Congratulations!
Move in ready! You don't have to do a THING to that place!
Very charming. Looks like it's in good shape just needs your talent to make it fantastic.
Oh...and I love those kitchens that you step down in to.

deb, that comment is just what i needed to hear!
How awesome! It's GORGEOUS!
OMG - Awesome! Thank god the stagers ripped down the wallpaper for you! Maybe I'll stop in some time :)
It's beautiful but where I live for $675k the chandelier should not only convey, but grant sexual favors and foot massages.
Enjoy your new home!
