We knew the community we wanted to live in so we only looked there and did a lot of online RE browsing before we went out with the realator so I knew what I wnated to see. We are actually upsizing and will have stairs, but I like stairs as I feel they keep one in good shape. In Italy all the octogenarians can climb stairs and hills like twenty year olds! It keeps them healthy. <br /><br />I'm sure after all the times you've moved that you know no place is absolutely perfect but you have time to look around and get as close to what you want as possible. Good luck!<br /><br />Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-54403158401487171352012-09-03T15:42:00.160-04:002012-09-03T15:42:00.160-04:00I LOVE househunting.

I agree with you that you should stay away from stairs. In your older years, they are not welcome! My house has a bazillion stairs and it can be such a hassle at times. I also agree about the dark houses not being as good. Unfortunately, though, that comes with the territory when you have a lot of trees (which I love). I hope you find some better choices for you. I like the yard on the first one you showed. It had some pretty landscaping.

Another blogger's son said when he saw that her food lacked a lot of color, how are you going to use that on your blog? We certainly look at things through different eyes today don't we.<br /><br />Enjoy the long weekend.
