On the Market: Our Favorite Stadium Way Cottage (29. September 2005, 07:00 by Derek Young) ~

Every once in a while we’d see a little gray-haired woman working the garden in front of this house. We’d wave. She’d look up. That was it. This happened for a couple years. Then, earlier this year, early on a saturday morning, we decided to check out an estate sale on Stadium Way and found ourselves on the front step of this little house. It seemed a bit voyeuristic. After a few years of passing by we were now going in the front door.

We have a thing for small houses and this place just seemed like a nice place. It’s a relatively small cottage in a neighborhood of grand homes and great views. The house next door is much larger and on the market for $1.45 million. This house seemed understated and perfect.

Our fear, as we realized that this house would eventually hit the market, was that it would be treated as a teardown. The house is small and a little funky… but it’s on a great lot and even the garage has a view. We love it. Hopefully whoever picks it up will love it too.

I think we bought some candles at the estate sale.
