NOTE: These are the original photos from the MLS listing just to give you an idea of the look and layout of the house before I moved in (which was about four weeks ago). Happy Monday Lovecats! I honestly can’t believe I’m actually here… in a new house, in a new town, in a completely …
Now that I am currently in the process of trying to imagine -or re-imagine– a new life and future for myself, moving from my current location to a new location is high on my list on jumpstarting that process. I still have some mixed feelings about leaving Lake Arrowhead, like the community and my friends …
Oh I just adore this estate in Sky Forest. It’s closer to the rim of the mountain than to the lake (and sort of on the way to the castle house that I also adore), but still only about a five minute drive to the lake or under. I remember it well because my mom …
I was nosing around Zillow’s homes for sale in my area again (Lake Arrowhead) and stumbled upon this incredible French Normandy-style lakefront “masterpiece” which, according to the listing, blends classic Old World architecture with state-of-the-art amenities. Not only that, this dreamy estate is located on the tip of its very own private peninsula right on …
My first “House Crush” posts centered entirely around homes nearby where I lived in Lake Arrowhead… I figured since I was looking at homes anyway, it would be a fun way to sort of share a little bit of the process with you… (I’m still not sure if I’m staying in my house or moving, …
This Aspen Inspired Private Luxury Mountain Retreat ( via Zillow ) was recently sold in September, but it still popped up in my recommended local homes email, because obviously at $2,875,000, it’s totally in my price range 😉 and I’m crushing on it… HARD. At 5 beds 5 baths and 5,495 sqft, it’s not a …
I’ve shared in a few posts about having to sell my house… Things have changed a little bit and I have a choice to stay, though it’s an expensive one, and as quickly as I can usually make decisions, the choice to stay in this house or to sell it and move is one that …
…his and hers snow boots… Crocs Duck Boots for her & Slip On Duck boots for himFor the past 45 days, we have been in limbo. Getting a loan to buy a house these days is kind of a ridiculous process, so even when it was almost surely a done deal, we held our breath …
As I mentioned in my last Lake Arrowhead post, the husband and I went for another visit on Tuesday to check out the house we loved one more time. We wanted to see if we would get the same great feeling for it that we did initially and to make sure we really wanted to …
When we were contemplating living in Lake Arrowhead and looking at real estate online, the concept of living by the actual lake and having lake rights, didn’t really rank high on our list of must-haves. We are not boat people and weren’t interested in becoming boat people or being part of the lake community. In …
If you’re following my House Hunting Series, you’ll already know that in our quest to find and buy our dream house, the husband and I have begun looking about an hour or two outside of LA. We really, in our heart of hearts, don’t want to leave LA {A. we both grew up here B. …
In our quest to find our dream house {Spanish style homes or houses built in the late 50’s-early 60’s}, which are millions of dollars in Los Angeles and under $400K everywhere else in between here and NYC, it seems, the husband and I have begun looking just outside LA to hopefully find something comparable. I …
The year has finally come. The husband and I have been saving and saving and SAVING our pennies and watching and waiting out the real estate market for the last 6 years. And now is the time to finally buy a house. Loving the home and location we are presently in, we thought we’d actually …
