BTW they call it Victorian not Craftsman. The problem is selling my place... nobody is even looking right now.

Since the house was built at the turn of the century, there is some overlap between the two styles but its definitely more Craftsman than Victorian....the fireplace, the beams in the living room ceiling, the light fixture in the LR ceiling.....all Craftsman. Craftsman has cleaner, more masculine lines........and started up around the turn of the century until the 1930s. Victorian is more gingerbread and feminine with very high ceilings and was the style in the late nineteenth century. Having said that, real estate brokers often call Craftsman houses Victorian. They seem to think Victorian has more panache. For me, Craftsman is much more preferable.

As for selling your house, why not buy the other house contingent on selling your house within a certain period of time....say six months. They might go for it since we are heading into the holiday period when sales traditionally are slower. Just a thought.
