I have had my eye on the house on the hill for over a decade now, then i have always lusted over that house.
It overlooks the ocean, has amazing gardens you can see from the freeway, and has these beautiful decorative windows, however when I drive by I can see the lights on in the house and I wish it was mine, and that is why I was gleeful to learn that the house was listed up for sale.
I doubted that my fantastic friend and I could afford it but I arranged for a walk through anyway. In person, this house was even more amazing than I had imagined. The decorative windows are beautiful from the inside, but however, the one feature of the house I didn’t like was the fact that it had no central heating or cooling, then none at all. In fact, it just had baseboard boilers spread throughout the house and 2 window air conditioner units. When I asked the realtor why it had no central Heating and A/C system she told me that the walls, ceiling, and flooring were not built right for HVAC duct… Still, there is such a thing as underfloor heating and cooling, and yet, I would dislike to tear up those decorative wood floors. However, I heard about this Heating and A/C system called a ductless mini split system. Apparently you just have to drill a few holes in the walls and run some hoseing through them. I would absolutely look into the opportunity of getting that done if I could afford this house. If I could afford the house, I still don’t know that I would buy it if there was no way to get an Heating and A/C system installed. I like the looks of the house but I want my creature comforts too.
