Welcome to my new house and the beginning of my story. First off let me introduce myself to some who may not know me...My name is Ian Mullarney and I just purchased my first home! The subject is a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian style home designed by a Swiss FLLW apprentice named Ernst E. Anderegg and built in roughly 1958.
The story of how this happened is very long, tiring and, probably boring for most so I'll keep things short. The day I found the property for sale and the day until closing was nearly a year, well 331 days to be exact. Let me be honest though, That's a very long time! It's not like all bets were on this one property...nearly every Sunday for the last year we (my girlfriend Dawn and I) would visit houses of all prices that interested me, ultimately finding nothing that compared.
The property was a "Short Sale" although not short in the terms of time. Some may say I'm foolish, stubborn, determined, or any combination of other words. What I do know is that I've got a lot of work ahead of me and I'm still excited for that at this point.
So that's it for now...photos of house coming next.
If anyone has any comments, questions, guidance, input, or whatever please leave a comment and we'll chat.
