Well Done












I grew up in Massachusetts and can remember so many of this type home lining the streets. You can say I am quite parcel to the cedar shingles and simple facade. I was not expecting much when I clicked on this home in our local real estate listings, but I was rather mistaken. It is quite stunning and feels rather special. The shower with the the doors that open out are now in my one day file. I dream of having an outdoor shower, but living in AL makes it not quite practical. This is truly the best of both worlds. This home is going for $569,000 and is listed as new construction. They most definitely have me fooled or it's a mistake. Either way I am in love and will be doing a drive by today.

As always if you are interested in this home I will be more than happy to get you in touch with the agent.

"doing a drive by today" - you are hilarious.

this home is gorgeous and i wouldn't expect to see it in Birmingham but up north.

Looks like your typical New England style house! So quaint. Love the doors in the shower and the sconces in the bathroom were quite unique. Great post!

LOVE this house. Would be eagerly driving by myself if driving by didn't require a plane trip first.

Oh my goodness, you are right. Well done, indeed!

That is practically perfect in almost every way!

What a fantastic house! I really am living in the wrong country. For that price you can barely get anything here :(

This is crazy good! I am in love with it.

Is that a old card catalog in the kitchen?

It's a remodel. Take your first left leaving the Village coming towards my house...it's up on the hill overlooking the Western. I want this house. Bad.

That is one small kitchen for $569,000.
But the house is beautiful.

Wow...I love the apothecary looking cabinets under the sink. There are a lot of great little touches...a great find for someone!

This is just what I've been looking for. Now I just need to move it to Oklahoma...

Gorgeous. I'm surprised about the new construction it looks so perfectly aged.

What a sweet gem...the new construction is curious, but the style is certainly on the money!

Love it... great remodel. And I have cedar shakes on my wish list for our new house.

They did a great job! I love the exterior too. Where did you grow up in Massachusetts. I moved to MA a little over 6 years ago.

What a cute and unique home. Love the work they have done inside! I can't believe how expensive homes are in other areas of the US!

New construction or the Realtors creative way to say new renovation? Just like the mountain view homes here that requier you to stand on the edge of the deck, overhang 4' and look to the left? LOL...gotta love marketing.
It is a sweet home and I am loving the bathroom, the faucets and backsplash detail have me sold.

omg, where in MA is that? I am here! What an adorable house! My parents used to have a Cape and i LOVED it. i want to find one. so charming!

I love cedar shingles! You don't see that in my neck of the woods but I do see it in the Northern Michigan town where we vacay. I adore all of those houses.

August 31, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercoolkids

Dreamy, just dreamy. Great details, space and size :) xx

Doug -- maybe if we all pitch in we could share it!

Now I want to change everything in my house ... SIGH!

"Quite parcel"? Should be "quite partial".
