Yay!! That really is a good price! We pay $1,000/month. Bluh. I always have too much month left at the end of my money. It's hard to find a cheap place around here that doesn't suck.

And I agree- Carl-E, your house is great! I love the architectural details. Is that a wraparound porch? I've always loved those  :-)

Carl-E:
Full width of the front and halfway 'round the side.  It was redone, we have pics ofthe house from the teens and twenties that show a wooden porch.  I'm guessing parts of it rotted, so they rebuilt it in brick.  At the same time, they changed the stairs (which had come down from the front door under the little peak in the center of the front) to come down from the corner.  Very elegant...

We pretty much live on the front porch in the summer.  It's rarely in direct sunlight, and the large maple in front provides great cool shade as it's seeds and leaves clog the gutters...

One of my first repairs when we moved in was that porch roof.  Shingling along a curve is fun!
