Curb Appeal #1 - From Ranch to Cottage Charmer


BEFORE

AFTER


In the following weeks I'll be offering a series on how to add curb appeal to your existing or future home.

If you are selling, you CAN NOT overestimate how much curb appeal helps when listing your home.

If you are buying, having the vision to see what a few inexpensive changes can do to a house can help you turn a "Plain Jane" (and probably less expensive) home into your dream home.

But What Is There to DO In the Country?




I get this question a lot since I moved back to the country, and it turns out there are so many I can't do them justice in one blog post. Therefore, I've started a Pinterest page with categories like:
  • Wineries
  • Places to Stay
  • Nature
  • Worship
  • Amish and Mennonite Communities
  • Community Supported Agriculture
  • Antiques
  • Local Barns
  • History
Then there are boards on Staging, Curb Appeal, and of course my listings.

I'll add more and more as the weeks go on, so check back often.

Hillsboro Then and Now

When I was growing up in Winchester, Hillsboro was the "big town" we came to for shopping, the movies and a nice meal.  It was the Mt. Pilot to our Mayberry.  (If you don't get the reference ask your parents.)  It looked like this:

 
 
Like many young people, I moved to "the city" -- in my case Cincinnati -- as soon as possible.  After spending most of my adult there, it was no longer the place I wanted to call home.  Feeling somewhat like Goldilocks, Cincinnati was too big and though in my heart it would always be home, Winchester was too small.  When I began to search for my forever home, the Hillsboro of my youth came to mind.  I took a drive and found it now looked like this:
 
 
 
Not much difference is there?  And that's the point.  In all the ways that mattered, it was still the same.  The pizza parlor where I had gone on dates is still here.  Not only that but it's still in the same family.  There's no mall -- but there ARE plenty of Mom and Pop shops.  There's no gourmet restaurant, but if you like down home cooking, or the best burger ANYWHERE (that would be Cowaburger) then you're in luck.  They use locally raised beef, and the buns are made at a local bakery. 
 
Highland County is home now.  Like Goldilocks I finally found the one that is just right.
 
If your just right is the same as mine, give me a call and we'll find a place YOU can call home.
