Home

[Witchy Woman]

Built by me and DH over a 4 year period.  We moved in the summer of 1990.  I touched every inch of the the place except the roof and chimneys.  I could not bring myself to get up that high.

We did not put wreaths up this year, so this is from a holiday snow a few years back.

I'm hoping to decorate next year.

I have joked saying I will never leave (ashes to be spread in the woods near the house), and that I'll become like the woman in Beetlejuice when/if anyone else ever moves in.

I love it. Looks like a small castle.

Your home is absolutely beautiful!  It is an unusual design, which I appreciate.  And in a wooded area, where you are surrounded by nature.  I am sure you worked very hard to attain your dream.  Merry Cnristmas!

What a special, unique home!  Thank you for sharing.

DH & I built ours in 2000, I stained the hardwood floors, white oak, hand rubbed, everywhere except, baths, kitchen and laundry. Yep, touched every sq. Inch & love it.

Second story balcony  - 👍 !!!

Your hard work certainly paid off! What a beautiful home you are blessed to live in. I'm sure everyday must bring you joy.

At the time, that was to be the "smoking" balcony, but DH finally quit at 41.  

While we don't often sit out there, I still like the way it looks.

We did work very hard and were much younger at the time.

I could never do it again.  Had NO IDEA what I was getting into.

DH is a builder and brick mason.  He suggested we build a Ranch style house and I had seen brick Victorians in Edenton, NC and Washington, DC.

So, I said, well, let's try one of those   What did I know?

Like I said 4 years of hard work, but I am thankful every day.

It's actually not all that big inside (under 2,000 square feet on 3 floors).  

But, plenty big for the 2 of us

Beautiful!  I have always wanted a turret!  I would be up there all the time!
