As cool as this thread is, our next house, if we ever move will be a ranch like @MarkV has.  Cool place, roomy love garages.

I love the ranch style! I forgot to mention I also had to do all windows and doors! Lol

This  place has a couple things going for it.  Its in Ohio which I like and it has some great outbuildings.   Ignore the price.   I thought OH was cheap?

That is cheap compared to prices around here, even accounting for the exchange rate.  (not to mention the slightly better weather in Ohio) Here's what you get around here for 1.5 M .   This just sold and was actually built by Thomas "Carbide" Wilson for his mother.  No garage space at all.  The original coach house was moved years ago and turned into a residential house in another part of the city.

A little more affordable with a big carriage house in back and a driveway that goes all the way around the back of the property.  Probably a little too urban for me.

I'm posting this because of the Carriage house.

I wonder if the rent on the house will carry the Carriage house because that's where I would be living!  But wow that's quite the place for the money

Reminds me of somebody asking how much it costs to maintain a Duesenberg.   The answer is "If you have to ask you shouldn't buy it".

     Last month we drove some antique cars to a historical site for their Christmas Celebration.   Low an behold I saw this Duesemberg dual cowl

     phaeton, one of six ever made.  Knowing the owner, I inquied about it's future as he was talking of down sizing, and found out it was For Sale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    The coolest pedal car I've seen, suitable for two kids big & smart enough to pedal.   Complete withi its history since new.  Illl have to call for a       

     price.

I found a picture of the carriage house!   This the back,   the big 12 foot high double door faced the house.

     I have a friend who loves Cadillacs and big old houses.  He always says he should have been a Funeral Director, then his expenses would all be 

     tax deductable.

     For those of you who like big old houses with lots of Garage space, see CarProperty.Com.   They have listings all over the place.   When we     

     downsize, we'll list our home there too.
