Late Fall in the West End

It is late Fall and I took a few images what the house and the neighborhood looks like with most of the leaves now off the trees.

The leaves are also mostly out the front yard too and the landscaping still looks good



The back of the house with the patio umbrella and the seat cushions tucked safely away.



The clock in Grace Court Park just up the street.



The landscaping still look quite nice in the park too.



Yes, we are in the West End of Winston-Salem

The new home?

Many folks have asked us about the new green home that we wanted to build here in downtown Winston-Salem as part of the SECCA on Second Street project. The longer we were waiting for things to move along and for good communication from the developer, the more we started to get a bad feeling about it. Along those lines, it is one thing to have a bad vibe about a pair of jeans you are buying, but that should not happen when buying a home no matter how expensive it is. So we decided to walk away from that project a few months ago and started to look at other options. We found a few cool older homes we liked, but Amy and I both were especially smitten by a home in the West End area.

So this might be our new home by mid January.

The den is very cozy

Did we already say that we love the kitchen?
