When I was a kid, I used to love to draw out cool house plans with my sister and compare notes. We loved to play make believe, and imagining the coolest houses that we could think of was one of the best ways to do this. Of course, the things that kids think of when they picture their dream house are pretty out there, as you can probably imagine. Mine usually involved caves and pirate treasure, while hers usually involved horses. Nonetheless, neither of us really changed as much as we would like to think as we grew up. No matter what age you are, everyone wants to live in cool houses!
Nowadays, even the best real estate companies often focus on producing the cheapest houses, or the ones which are the easiest to build. Although this makes it easier to own a home than ever before, sometimes it can be hard to find new homes that have a lot of character. If you want to own cool houses, you might have to be willing to get an old fixer-upper and go from there. That is exactly what I did with the first home that I bought. For a while, we looked at house plans and considered building one from scratch, but then we found the perfect home. It was a beautiful old Victorian home, but it was in a pretty run down neighborhood and in sorry shape! When most people think about cool houses, they usually do not picture sagging roofs, worn out floors, and mold problems, but those were some of the things that we had to deal with. Nonetheless, it was all worth it in the end. It was actually fun to work on that home, and we knew that, once we fixed it up, it would be a great place to live with a lot of character. In the end, we were not disappointed. Even before we bought it, you see, we knew that it was one of those really cool houses that you only see once in a while. Apparently, it had been owned by a very wealthy family in better times, and it still had traces of its former glory. There were high ceilings, built in window seats, and even stained glass windows! Once we fixed up the damage, we were the envy of all of our friends! Since we bought that place, we have had the best parties in the whole neighborhood.
