house envy


here's another house in my neighborhood. if it were for sale, my guess is that it would be listed in the $800,000s. perhaps more, because really... what do i know? i'm new here. the only thing i know for sure is that i live in a swank part of town.

but houses like this impel me to go walking every night. i *love* taking long, meandering hikes up and down the streets in my neighborhood, ogling the magnificent architecture.

sigh. I LOVE houses like this with big wraparound porches.

so do people go out and sit on those big porches?

that's a gorgeous house.

you know, lisa, that's a great question. the biggest and most glorious of these houses rarely have anyone on the porch. which is a crime, given how exquisite the weather is here. (a week straight of 79 degree days.) some of the 'shabbier' houses (it's all relative) will have folks on the porch from time to time.

i have noticed a lot of garden parties, though. portlanders are EXTREME GARDENERS. you would not believe some of the gardens. i guess i'll have to start taking photos of those, too.
