it's not wood per se... it's just all that old fashioned style of wood...
Another house that looks promising

This is my kitchen - country antique. I am one step away from having a hand pump on the kitchen sink.

I guess I am not up to date on wood styles.

the fact remains that this is down to individual taste.. and if that house suits you..then there's absolutely no reason for you to turn it down based on our dislikes of it...

I looked at some modern kitchen styles here. To me everything looks flat and uninteresting...no character.

Wow! What a stunning kitchen!
I'll bet for $11K - $15K you could gut that kitchen, have all new (everything), while still preserving the look, and you'd be in YOUR home.
Just think, a nice lit-glass backsplash, fresh new countertops, soft-close cupboard and cabinet doors, upgraded LED lighting, new flooring, but still embracing the country look.

The biggest drawbacks for me would be that it's so isolated out in the country and probably has a well and septic system. Bu then again, it's a toss-up - live where there public water and sewer and close to things, or live near people that may not behave in a manner I approve.

Is that all?
My kitchen is just the tip of the iceberg - every room needs something as well as the exterior.

See...I don't particularly care for islands in the kitchen. One house I looked at a few years ago had what they call a galley kitchen. I could hardly turn around in it. I'd be banging my hips on everything. One other had such a large kitchen, I'd need a taxi to get from the sink to the stove.
Kitchens and bathrooms are the most expensive rooms to do.Is that all?

And those are the big selling points, too.
No island, Deb.
I'm just throwing everything at you that I can to help give you inspiration at every turn. Ideas, ideas, ideas...
I'd feel bad if I didn't pull-out all the stops on this.

Sometimes things look different in person than in a photo.

How about this one that just listed on Tuckers Lane.

It’s brick and in the town. I’d like you to have a huge garage for your sales.
With the other one, I’d be worried about safety being in the country. Fine now, but no one’s health last forever.

@ClassicRockr talked about moving to Colorado from Jacksonville for years. Everyone teased him, said he'd never move. He moved. Moral to the story? Who knows?To repeat myself, Deb is not moving.
