We bought the house in March of 1979. We were the third owners since it was built in 1922. It was a commitment we were eager to make, despite the daunting financial obligation of a $229 monthly mortgage payment. Property taxes and homeowners' insurance included!
The new home was located in the same South Shore of Long Island town in which we had grown up, so there was no shortage of family members to help with the moving, fixing up, and settling in. The house was small but charming with its high ceilings, detailed moldings and a lovely fireplace. My favorite part.
But even a charming fifty - seven year old house is not without its flaws. For one thing the kitchen was very dated. But we would take care of that in time.
