Just kidding, I am really excited to introduce you to James and my new house!! After a roller coaster of a search for a home that met our list, we finally had an offer accepted on this one. And I am so glad we didn't get those other 3. This one rocks!
It was built in 1914 and still has a lot of the character preserved. I'll give you a tour of the house in my next post. The property is a double lot. The house sits on one and 42 fruit trees take up most of the second. 42 fruit trees! I've been dreaming of a house with an extra lot so I could start my urban farm. I never dreamed I would get one with an established orchard. Along with the fruit trees we have hazelnuts, walnuts, grape vines, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. And did I mention kiwis? Kiwis! (Please excuse the overuse of exclamation points, I am very excited) There isn't much room for vegetables but it looks like making jam might be my first business venture :)
Here is a map of the trees and plants with their varieties listed (for those of you interested in the details). The large square on the left side represents the house and the top of the map is the street side.
Stay tuned to find out where we start with the inside of the house to make it AMAZING!
