“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”
I can't believe that this beautiful 1873 former Trustee Savings Bank House in Allendale, Northumberland, England is less than $1m. 4bds, 1.5ba, £550,000 / $733,865 approx. USD.
Enter a lovely little foyer with wainscoting and a tiled floor.
The foyer opens to this nice central hall.
The sitting room is cozy and look at how the fireplace is basically flush with the wall.
Very comfortable room.
The 2nd sitting room is a pretty one.
The space is shared with the dining table.
The large kitchen is lovely and even has a sofa.
It's big, but very warm.
And, this little sitting corner is adorable.
This isn't a bath, so I think it's a laundry room, but all I see is a fridge.
Big 2nd fl. landing.
Beautiful bedroom #1.
Bedroom #2 is lovely, too.
Beautiful corner.
Oh, this is so pretty.
There's a small yard in the back with a stone wall, garage and garden shed. Love the little one- it would make a cool playhouse.
Such a good price for a lovely historic stone home.
"THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated” ― Thomas Paine, 'The Crisis'
"None of us have the promise of tomorrow. God forbid this is my last day on this beautiful earth, it won't be spent listening to some news person telling me how rotten we are, how rotten life is, heck no, I'm going out and seeing how beautiful life is.
As humans, our time on this planet is very limited...
This 1800 mill-turned-home in Camaiore, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy is absolutely incredible. 2bds, 1ba, 2,475.7sqft, €395k / $459,090 approx. USD. Below are photos of how it looks by day and by night. (It's so romantic at night.)
The sitting room has a dining area. Note the fireplace carved out in the corner of the room. There's another dining room, this is extra, so it's actually the living room.
But the kitchen is the star of the show. I love when the old equipment is still in a mill, and when owners remove it, it's just a plain ol' house. So, look at this- the kitchen has a mill stone.
The stone is still in the trough that held the ground grain.
Then, to the right, there's a giant crusher. Also, love the furniture.
This is the dining room.
Look at that big piece of equipment.
Look at this cool room off the dining room. This is fantastic.
Once I saw an old mill for sale that was completely modernized. Not one piece of the original equipment. It was awful. This one still looks like an old mill.
Even original tools still hang on the walls.
Here's a nice large bedroom. It's so pretty.
And this is the 2nd bedroom. It's so cozy.
The bathroom is so vintage. And, they did that thing with the shower- it's clear glass and made to blend into the background.
The water that ran the mill still flows under it.
There's a little patio here.
The water wheel still works.
Look at how beautiful it looks lit up at night. The property is approx. 1.73 acres,
