It is officially official. Jordan and I are now the proud owners of a federal-style home that's been around since 1805. We love old homes, and Jordan has wasted no time in getting into the house to demolish outdated features that we don't like (think orange shag carpeting and avacado green bathroom fixtures) and to expose the ones we do (hand hewn beams with wooden pegs).
The house and the view is pretty cool (see our glimpse of the river in the photo above), but the land that comes with the house was a huge selling point as well. We have 15 acres: 4 pastured acres, 10 timbered, and 1 marshy acre down by the river. The land around the house was beautifully landscaped at one time, and we are looking forward to discovering floral treasures in the spring.
Oh, and did I fail to mention that a lovely brook runs through our property? It does, and we are all excited about doing some fishing in the spring - right after black fly season!
