Typhoid Mary

this house hunting thing is getting to me. we went to a couple of open houses this weekend and found something we really really like but we both have reservations. to contribute to our indecision is the fact that we don't have to move right now if we don't want to so it's very tempting to think "well if we wait it out maybe something will come up that we like better."

but this house is so friggin' cute and so different from all of the other houses we've looked at.

the pros

it's on half an acre
it's reasonably priced for the area (this is massachusetts so it's hardly cheap)
it's an older home that's different and charming with high ceilings and gorgeous floors and woodwork
it's been renovated with a new kitchen and baths
it's got a front farmer's porch and a patio in back

the cons

it needs to be properly insulated
it's right on the road on a relatively busy street
it doesn't have AC
and it's a little small with practically non-existent closet space (and i'm all about closets)

what to do...
