| 1419246 | 2016-04-17 08:14:00 | www.realtor.com Hmm...... Hope this works. This is is my daughters home in Morgantown, West Virginia USA. I know, not much chance of anyone down under getting it, but it's a lovely house, and I've stayed there a couple of times.... They're selling it cos they've bought a place in North Carolina. (Jobs took them there Hope the link works ok.... Cheers, LL |

| 1419247 | 2016-04-17 19:32:00 | Not my style at all but but nice all the same. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1419248 | 2016-04-17 20:46:00 | I like the house. Nice. 3 things I don't like - it's such a small section! I thought the US had big sections? And where are the fences? And I hate toilets in bathrooms. Still at least it's roomy - unlike the nasty UK houses with the loo jammed up against the sink. |

And I hate toilets in bathrooms. Still at least it's roomy - unlike the nasty UK houses with the loo jammed up against the sink. There are two bathrooms upstairs and one on the ground floor which is a separate toilet. They don't mind the smaller section, no kids and they're pretty busy couple. That is one of the smaller places in their neighbourhood, and no, not many houses have fences there. Very low crime rate. Cheers, LL |

| 1419250 | 2016-04-18 01:16:00 | Nice Georgian Townhouse type . These are typical in the South where property was used for crops - tobbacco, sugar beets, cotton, etc . , and it was in areas where floods happened, so higher land was a premium . Not that this might be on high ground, but the style was infectious and created some nice, gentrify'd neighborhood . The color is typical Mason-Dixon solid blue with those white trimmed 6 by 6 and 6 by 4 window treatments . . . . a very nice touch! The Franciscan Monestary cum Shaker kitchen/food area is also nice if not authentic period nor culturally correct, but I may be incorrectly judging that by Norfolk-Williamsburg-Lafayette motifs which I know better from having lived there forty years ago . Bathroom etegies were not in vogue, but that's likely from what would have been wasted open space with newer toilets without the Crapper-style water closet tanks . Nice period appropriate wall treatments too . Kudos! I'm very sure that Thomas Jefferson didn't have an exercise bike in his tv room either! #19 ----oars behind the bathtub? Unique sense of humor . All in all, a real cream puff (NZ = Bob's yer uncle) . |

| 1419252 | 2016-04-18 06:52:00 | Her house on my section - LOL. I like the house, as I said. And most of the decor - kitchen for instance. It was/is a great kitchen, especially after they added the central island and skylight. Spent many happy hours in there having drinkies! The home was built in 1915, in a now historic development called SouthPark. All the homes in the area were built by the coal mine owners. The workers all lived in another area of Morgantown, (lower socio economic group). Hope they can get a sale soon cos they're paying off two mortgages at the moment. I will be sorry not to visit and stay there again, 😔 Even though their home in NC is very nice too. Cheers, LL |

| 1419253 | 2016-04-18 17:00:00 | LL: If you like to see a movie (olde fashioned name for 'video') of a period-perfect house, because Jackie Gleason starred in the flick, find "Poppa's Delicate Condition" ( . google . com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjNqLamxZjMAhUK0WMKHdkACnMQtwIIRDAF&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww . youtube . com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dju" target="_blank">www . google . com wML3GHwBw&usg=AFQjCNGsfQeozTH9iSD7KsSjweH8o_QPJw&sig2=uUKnxPuE9HisufqNwA1iGw) somewhere in Upsidedown Land . I have a copy in my 'puter for times when I want to view a simpler time, better morals, clean entertainment and good loving family interplay . There is no gunfire, no decapitations, no wanton bloodletting, no lascivious activities nor aliens . It might/will be boring for first-shooter-players to watch . :) |

| 1419255 | 2016-04-19 01:57:00 | C'mon, Greg! I agree that it would be nice on the back end of twenty acres in Montana, although heating something like that here in this area would be hard. We don't need air conditioning here as it never gets hot here unless you're a native. Then it's too close to the sun in the summer and the cowboys/natives look for refrigerated saloons and gambling halls. I slow down at 49C but just a little bit. 50C makes me sweat. This 46+ degree north latitude rarely gets to 31C, so that's nothing about which to faint. Notice please ---- I used sillimeters. Don't count on it too many times though. Up The King's Nose! |
