4880 Pratt

I have fallen in love with a house:

http://www.surovell.com/lid=23663364

It is from 1850, it is right off of Ann Arbor-Dexter Road but is still geographically in Ann Arbor, and it is an honest-to-god farmhouse that has a big red barn. For years when I talked about moving to Michigan I said I wanted to buy a big old farmhouse in Dexter because Dexter is this weird sweet nothing little town right next to Ann Arbor (the house on Pratt is literally 5.00 miles from the med school, and basically equidistant to everywhere else in Ann Arbor that we'd want to go) that has old farmhouses and actual farms and railroad tracks and Queen Anne's Lace and it's like as close as you can get to living in a corn field in Boonville, Iowa, while still being literally minutes away from Ann Arbor and the med school and the law school.

It's 329, which is a little higher than most of the cute houses right in town that we're looking at, but it has 2750 square feet which is insane, and 1.60 acres, and a barn for god's sake. This is the farmhouse of my dreams - with Ann Arbor schools! - where we can have a kitten for Hazel and another old dog for Nero - and lemonade on one of our many screened-in porches and oh god, I think I'm going to have an acute myocardial infarction just thinking about it, especially because J and parents will think it is an adorable but completely impractical idea.
