And the Correct Number is...

 House #4! I can't believe how many of you guessed correctly. Here is the rest of the tour.

 This is the front downstairs bedroom. It would be a great studio.


 The family room.

 The mudroom off the kitchen.


 The sitting room off the master bedroom.


 Upstairs bedroom that would be Emma's. It even has its own bathroom.

 Emma's closet. Hate her.

 Other downstairs bedroom for Maddie.


Bonus finished heated and cooled space behind the garage.

 The treehouse.

 The covered back porch.

Isn't it dreamy? Sweet Hubby and I could happily spend summer evenings in that swing. The backyard overlooks the town green space so the view is beautiful. It's like country in the backyard, town in the front. Also, it's only one street off of Main St. Did I mention it is on the same street we are renting on?

Did I mention that as of about 45 minutes ago we have a signed contract on this house? Our house.

    Most excellent choice! You will adore the sitting room off the master bedroom. We have one and it is a sanctuary - sweet place to sit and be, just be. ~Kelly

    Most excellent choice (I was gunning for it after seeing the stove) and really charming. May you have an awesome time decorating it and making it yours!

    Congratulations! It's dreamy. Can't wait to see all you do with it. Looks like a very happy home to make many many happy new memories. Don't think about the money. Just remember now is a great time to buy a house! We just bought a brand new car and rather than choke while writing the check, I thought about the huge fuel savings and the poor interest my money was getting in the bank. You made an awesome investment in your future ~ EnJoY!
