Here, finally, is the great news I have been hinting at. After a crazy month, we have the house up for sale and have a contract in place on a new house in town. It's about 10 minutes from the office and less than that to the heart of campus.
Okay, first a bit of scene setting:
We have been in love with this house for about a year now. Periodically, we get to visit it in order to take care of a very cute Sheltie named Riley. 
About a month ago, I mentioned to Jen while we walked up to the house to see Riley, that if Mary Ann would just put this house up for sale we'd make her an offer.
Not 20 minutes later she told us she was listing the house in about three weeks!! So needless to say we went on a tour of the house with completely different eyes than ever before. All of that has led to structural analysis, inspections, repairs and lots of negotiations.
The current owner, Mary Ann, has lived there for only a year. The prior owners were there for 40 years after the house was built in 1965.

Please forgive any messiness in the photos, because she didn't know we were going to take pics! Oops!
So here goes:
1965 two-story block home with a 150 yr old oak in the front yard!
