The seller just accepted our offer, we should be moving in the first week of August. I LOVE this house!!

It's a 5 year old Victorian, 2880sq ft living, over 4000sq ft total, on 2 acres.

The outside of the house (That's not the street you see there, it's a circular driveway, the house sits quite a ways back from the road)

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY, I want to see the house...and nada!!!! Whats up with that????? LOL dial up maybe?????

Hey Tricia! - We can always START a LBT House party. :confused:

I keep looking at these house pictures because they're so beautiful & even showed my husband. He is big into buying land & real estate. That house here in AZ would sell for close to a million. NO JOKE!! Beautiful home Tricia. We are looking at buying a peice of land on 1 acre & it's selling for $350,00. That's JUST the land! Yeah, count your blessings that you live where you do. I am thrilled for you.

(((Im here in Lake Charles - SW Louisiana. 2 hours west of BR)))

That's one awesome house. When I looked a the outdoor pictures, I knew it was good ole' Louisiana - aka alligator land ((j/k)).

just BEAUTIFUL!!!

So, why are the people selling??

Funny - thanks! We're in love with this house too. I walked in and my jaw dropped. I would love to have people visit. We don't know that many people here. Come on up!

Meow - I'm sorry you're not able to view the pictures. It might be because you're on dial up. I've uploaded the pics to my server and they're showing for (almost) everyone else.

Diane - LOL...that would be fun! I would have to run it by the dear husband but I would love to start one at my house!

Paula - my husband posted photos on another message board and other people knew it was in Louisiana as well. I'm not originally from here so I guess I don't understand how people can tell. In any event, I'm madly in love with it. I can't wait to move in and enjoy the house, pool, land, etc. The man selling the house is single and was originally leasing the house with option to buy. He exercised his right to purchase shortly after Katrina because he had no where else to go. He never wanted to own it but really had no choice at the time. So now he basically wants to unload it because he already found another place to buy. He said that before Katrina, it appraised for $40k more than what he's selling it to us for. We're hoping that the appraisal we're having done on it shows at LEAST a 10-11% increase AFTER Katrina. BTW - our current home recently (last week) appraised for 44% more than what we bought it for last year.

LOL...that's ok. Yes, next Monday we're going to Eustis, which is about an hour away from Orlando. We'll be arriving late in the evening but we'll be there until Sunday morning. Where are you? If you're close, maybe we can coordinate everyone meeting at the same time.

Tricia,

Your home is absolutely beautiful! It's very unique and it has a great color scheme and design. I love houses from the South. (I'm from New England) l wish you and your family many years of love, joy and happiness in your new home. I don't know how big your last house was, but cleaning a home that is almost 4,000 sqft. SUCKS!! I have 4500 Sqft. and I keep begging for a maid to come in. LOL A quick hint.. what works for me is I start at one end of the house and I move along to the other side. What doesn't get done the first day, gets done the next.

:eek:

Beautiful home I am sure you will be very happy there.......

LOL, she's mine! All minnnnnnneeeee. Buhahahahahaha!

Thank you very much. The home we're currently in is 1600 sq. ft. living. This new house is 3000 sq. ft. living but approx. 4000 sq. ft. total counting the carports, porches and pool house. I'm hoping it won't be a hassle to clean. Thankfully, except for the bedrooms upstairs, the floors are stained concrete or hardwood, which I've found to be easier to clean. And, thanks for the hint!

Wow...this is becoming quite the event! As soon as I get some sort of schedule out of my husband, I'll have a better idea of when and where. Telly mentioned something about dinner and a comedy club, which is right up our alley. I'm thinking Friday night would be best but, again, I need a definite schedule from the hubby.

We should all exchange cell numbers so that we can keep in touch. Telly and I have already done so.

I don't know. I think we need to put a thread out there that TRICIA IS COMING ...

I am sure lot's of us would love to hook up here in Florida.

What do you say?
