My love and I have decided that our first house should be in town and should be something cozy, with a yard big enough for our animals (just the dog, the rats, and the snail right now, but we want to get a tortoise, too). At some point in the future, we’ll be ready for our bigger house with more land (and room for more guest and more animals). So this post is about the home that I want to attract for us.
We want our house to be a welcoming space where our friends and family will feel comfortable. We want it to be pretty inside and out; something with character and quirks, interesting spaces, and lots of light in all the right places. We’d prefer an older building to a newer one, but the essence is character. Brick would be welcome. It should have beautiful wood floors and wood 
detailing; moulding, shelving, that sort of thing, and we definitely want a a fireplace. We’d like to have 2 bedrooms minimum, but more are fine if the price is right.
The yard should have grass and plants, and at least one nice tree. It can be any kind of tree, as long as it is healthy and beautiful, with personality. Any plants should be low-maintenance, wild
spaces are something we both like a lot. We just need room for people and animals to enjoy the outdoors whenever they want or need to. Other features like a deck or patio, a fountain…those are welcome, too. And we need a fence to keep our animals safe and to give us a sense of our own space.
We would like our house to be in or within walking distance of a community core: a pub, a coffee shop, some restaurants, places to hang out with other people.
We want our house to be ready for us to move into by February or March at the latest. We are extremely grateful to the Universe for providing the perfect house in the perfect location at the perfect price and at the perfect time for us.
