No price shown. Does that mean that if I have to ask I can’t afford it?

Wow. Well if that works I have a couple investment houses I’m trying to unload. I cannot promise that lovely background music will be playing.
Nice on the outside but a bit cramped on the inside.
Too many rooms spread over too little room.
Dubious decorating can influence people…but they do add the redecorating into their budget.
Slan,

I didn’t see the whistle vault…
And how many inches of snow are around it now? Did I hear someone say 100" and more on the way. No thanks, that why I left the great white north and now live in the south (ish).

I want to buy a house…
Have been trying to get this one all week.

but it doesn’t look like it’s meant to be. They want more cash up front than I currently have socked away 
Mortgages hard to get in the US Wanderer?. They are falling over themselves trying to offer you them over here.

That’s a pretty decent price for that size house, W. The same thing here would start aroung $300K or more.

Nice house, but waaaay too new for me.
The ones I get weak over have to be something like this-
in some stage of disrepair(or -shudder- re-muddled) with large porch, exposed rafter-tails, colonades dividing living-dining room,fireplace nook, built-in buffet, tiny kitchen, butlers pantry, all woodwork in public rooms is oak, all floor is oak, 1" hex tiled floors in bath with subway tiled walls-white of course.
I should have been born around 1920 I think. I do love Craftsman houses, and love working on them!
The older the better. 
not super hard to get, but long time chiffers may remember a time when the tech bubble burst and I was out of a job for a long time. With those dings on my credit, i can get a mortgage, they just want more down payment.
That’s a fairly standard price for a house that size down here…I was looking at one in houston just before said tech bubble burst that was about 250K for slightly more square footage.
Ones about that size (on teeny-tiny lots - 7000 sq feet) are selling for about $1.5 million here in the SF Bay area. I can assure you that my own house is considerably smaller and less opulent, but it still cost a heck of a lot more than I ever expected to spend on a house.
Years ago, a friend told me, while surveying his house: “When I was a kid if you told me I’d ever own a house worth this much, I would have thought you were crazy.” A pause while he scanned his very average middle-class house and neighborhood. “And if I had believed you, I would have expected a mansion, not . . . this”
Whoa! As they say Location, location, location.
I can’t imagine spending that kind of money for a house. (of course, we inherited ours, then spent $$$$ working on it, but it’s worth it to me).
Heck, before we moved back here to the farm, the house we had-ca.`1962 ranch- we bought at 1973 prices so I guess I’m kinda out of the loop, as the saying goes…
It’s the price we pay to live in an in-demand area. I’m in a field (high tech) where most of the available jobs are in Silicon Valley or other expensive urban areas. And - despite high-priced crazyness - there are a lot of things I like about where I live.
But I’ll admit to moments when I wonder where I’d be living today if I’d majored in Forestry instead . . .
This seems like the kind of thing one would think but not say.
Here’s one a friend of mine designed. It’s for an underground (semi-hobbit hole-esque) which would drastically reduce both heating and cooling costs.
I’d have to move to a hillier region than south-eastern England, but I could live with that.
edit Here’s the other one I’m thinking about.
This house would be WAY more expensive in a cultural area. The house is in the middle of horse and wine country (farmland), miles from anything.
Two of the rooms (the main living room and the master bedroom) are not at all cramped…they are very spacious. The square footage is calculated strangely. It is not accurate…there is more literal square footage than we are allowed to count.
The whistle vault has been moved already to the new location. So has the piano. And my yarn. And most of our clothes and other things.
I think the virtual tour shows the downstairs apartment too much…we don’t even go down there much (my mom stays there when she visits, though). but I got a kick out of it (the virtual tour) when I saw it, anyway. There’s a link to the specs.
I, too, love old houses. Dan had this house when we met. I really like this house, too, but I am not crazy about the location (in terms of culture and whatnot, or lack thereof).
Wow, that’s a posh house! It looks like something you see in Martha Stewart magazines.
I like the view of trees outside the study area. And the computer in the baby room, gotta start them young.
Alas my wife has made it clear she is done with cold climates. Truth be told, I’d probably wimp out after a week in real cold.
And if you have money to spare, there’s a great flat for sale in London:
