Sounds impressive huh? I thought I'd found THE house. I vaguely remember seeing it listed on a property search site previously but it was relisted this morning and it caught my attention. Rang the agent to arrange for viewing but he didn't call me back. I'm not sure why but I was really excited about this property and my heart was racing. There weren't even any internal pictures. Texted A about it but did say I wasn't going to have high hopes or expectations. Since the house was near to Lavigne's school, I drove there to have a look.

Then my heart sank. There's a 'Sold' sign outside the house. I couldn't believe it. It'd been relisted today. How could it be? Many questions ran through my mind. The house looked better in real life and it's in a good position. I kept asking myself why didn't this house stand out to me on my search list? I look through it many times everyday. Why didn't I request to view it before? When was this house sold? All sorts of questions. Alas! I just have to console myself it's not meant to be and a more appropriate one will come along, that the house may not be as nice as it had been described. How can I love a house so much even before viewing it? Simple. It ticked all the boxes and many more.

Wahaha! I was wondering how come he left a message. Yes, everything integrated. That's what I like. Also love having a dressing room. But! Building sandcastle in the air.
