Sold!

A "for sale" sign went up on this house, and was followed just days later by a "sold" sign. I can see why - it's a real charmer. It's got all the craftsman touches: the low pitched roof with great brackets supporting it, a nice front porch with a lovely railing and shake detail above, absolutely terrific windows that (gasp) aren't white vinyl, a nicely maintained yard, and a really nice front door.

I have a designer friend who tells me that houses should all be painted three colors (two is bland, and four looks too busy), and this house does that. Note the sage green body, the creamy trim, and the dark window color. If it was me, the only thing I might consider would be to paint the railings to match the trim, and paint the door to match the windows.
Nice. Very nice.
