More Walking

Now here's a place we've actually thought about and visited.  These Frank Lloyd Wright style condos were built on what was once a large estate; hence, the stone and wrought iron gate.  Their interiors are quite small, each with only a few compact rooms.  They would definitely force the discipline of downsizing!  The great appeal lies in the second-floor corner bedrooms, with windows on two sides and wraparound decks, and in the beautiful grounds.


The image below gives you a sense of the grounds and includes the gateway in the back, leading to the original mansion and carriage house.


The final photo shows two of the side-by-side condos head-on.

Neighborhood Walk

After I posted the article about our city, someone asked for some photos, so I took a few the other day when I walked to the Little lakes.  Just remember ~ I love the architecture; I don't live in it!  I've never been inside any of these homes, but I do get to walk past them.

The kids have always liked this one as a potential fantasy house.


I prefer this one, across the street from the first.  It's on a small lot, but the windows give the sense of the house being one with the outdoors.


And I'm very fond of this third floor.
