Pure Elegance

When we drove past this gorgeous old home the other day,   I thought to myself ....pure elegance

I couldn't resist taking some photo's as we drove past.









.





I think a young family lived here as there was a playground around back.   (I didn't get a  photo's of it )

    I thought the ladder into the tree was such a cute idea.

The trim around the windows was probably my favorite part....no wait....it's the porches....or maybe the clean look of white paint.    What is your favorite part?

    I have no idea what part is my favorite, however as I looked at the photos, I wondered: who lives there, what are their lives like, what do they do for a living, do they host parties? It's such a beautiful home! Have a great night! Blessings, Cindy

    I always wonder what one does in life to live in a home like that. My homes have always been small and humble. I think the WHITE of the home is what makes it stunning...and all the tree's...just beautiful. WHO are they? Reminds me of the White House.

    I think this is a new home, not an old home. Old homes didn't have attached garages. I have a large home sort of like this and I can answer the questions of your readers who want to know what do the owners of a home like this do. My husband is an entrepreneur who has several diverse businesses, but mainly he is a CPA who loves to help other small business owners. The inside of our home is no different from anyone else's. I go to thrift shops to get good deals on furnishings, because older furniture is better made and why pay full price for decorative items? I love art and buy from local artists so prices are low there too. And yes, it's a pain to keep a big house clean! It's not all its cracked up to be to live in a big house. Just multiply your chores, and that's what it's like. Unless you're lucky enough to be ultra rich and can find good trustworthy housekeeping help. Good luck with that these days. Anyway, beautiful house, thanks for sharing.

      Hi Terri, thank you so much for your input. I think the garage may be an update to the original home. This home is located in a very old area of Amarillo Texas. Judging by the mature trees and surrounding homes, I don't think it is new,,,,,but I could be wrong...lol! hugs...

    Wow that is quite the mansion, and such a pretty yard too. My favorite would have to be the porches, when we bought our house I had to have a porch :)
