What WE Want For Christmas


It would be a tight fit under the Christmas tree, but we still are hopeful! This is the house we have been trying to buy for the last six weeks. It is a brick Italian Villa with big rooms, tall ceilings and a great curvy stairway, and it sits on a hill on the other side of Lebanon.
The house had been on the market at a high price for four years but the owners had to give it up to their bank in September. The bank cut the price a lot (though still a big stretch for us) so we put in a bid and, lo and behold, got a purchase contract. There are problems to work through (title, legal description, expiring Fannie Mae incentives, etc) so it isn't a done deal but we are really, really, trying!
