I am looking for a small character home from 1920's -60's with a yard and lots of sunlight. Prefer it to be only 1 story and have a gas fireplace. Can be dated or even archaic without lots of expensive finishes or modern amenities. Love real wood (fir), cement , wide casings and sashes, window seats, library shelves, nooks and cosy spaces. I love all the beautiful trees, shrubs and plantings that grow around here. I am a fruit/veggie/cutting flower gardener for fun not for sales. 2 dogs. So fencing (dog and/or deer) would be helpful. A carriage house would be ideal or a small space like a mobile home. I like having neighbours and a community nearby. Don't wanna be in the sticks. I really love old things- homes, styles, habits and gravitate towards older, better constructed, character homes that have a timeless feel about them. Don't want an OSB or plastic box. Don't want to pay strata fees. Don't want a serious fixer upper. Don't want it on a highway. Don't need ocean or mountain view. Thanks for your help to find a small dream home and yard and not a mc mansion! Nance
