Carriage House Project Completed

He does have a membership at the country club but that's his putting green, lol.

I don't even know if the rules would allow a little house on the property...the rules are very strict...no swing sets even, no high fences. Etc.

 

No, I imagine that wouldn't go over very well. But it sure might give the SIL a bit of indigestion.

 

The "Carrage House" has made a comeback in today's "mansions". It is basically a 3 or 4 car attached garage, with a tiled floor and hanging chandeliers, fronted by standard sized windows.

 

This is an arial view of her house. It's the grey two story in the middle.

You can see the putting green way in the back. The area behind that is still part of the property and that's where all snakes and wild things hide.
@Ina I. Wonder

 

Here's a wider view, that's the community pool which only the 17 yr old uses. The weather there isn't pool friendly. He just cuts through and walks down the hill.

All that area behind the houses is where I wouldn't walk. Snakes, Bobcats, coyotes and that's why we don't let pickles out except to pee. If he went down there he'd never return.

 

And your waiting to move for what again @Chrissy Cross?

 

I know....by this time next year I will be there. It's hard to tell in the pic but it's a hilly area.

A little cute tiny house in the back would be perfect though, but that won't happen. If a swing set isn't allowed...

Eventually my daughter will downsize but not until the 13 yr old is out if the house...maybe their next house could have a casita on it or whatever they call those mother in law houses.

 

I love the pics @Von Jones and @Chrissy Cross, they're both very nice, in different ways, of course. I wouldn't want to be walking where all the snakes, bobcats and coyotes are, but then again, we have snakes, bobcats,coyotes, wild hogs and gators here, and I still walk, but they're usually only out at night, except the gators and snakes. I do sometimes see gators and snakes when I'm walking, but I've only seen one snake on the path I was walking on, and that was a dead one. I'd love to live in a carriage house. I just need someone to adopt me.

 

My initial thoughts was trying to convert the carriage house into liveable space but as mentioned in another post it's extremely expensive even if I considered Johnny's idea to rebuild the character that I loved about it would be lost forever.
