The house is a great find. I'm very relieved that Mark is as enthusiastic about it as I am, as I found it and pretty much committed us to it without his ever seeing it. It's a sweet little place in spite of the peach cabinets in the kitchen, and there are lots of really nice Victorian details throughout. Plus the real estate agent seems to think that a dog will be no problem.
I'm off to the States in a week to check the next tick off our to-do list.
