Isn't the porch FANTASTIC? And the tree? And also, I know you want to see this, though it is a crappy and unrepresentative picture. 'Tis the Nook of Ideas:
What you can't tell from this picture is that the Nook is like 5 1/2 feet wide and like 12-14 feet long. In other words, an entirely reasonable amount of space for an office. (In fact, not all that much smaller than my actual office at school, which I think used to be a utility closet. What you also can't see is that there are windows in the Nook, so in that regard it is superior to my actual office, which has no windows - another piece of evidence that tells you it was probably at one time a utility closet.)
I should also note that I'm sort of freaking out about the fact that things are moving forward. It's not the idea of the money and mortgage that gets me. It's just that it feels so grown up of a thing to do. Also, it feels like for the first time "home" will really be where I live full time, and not my mom's house. I think the anxiety is closest to how I felt when I brought the Man-Kitty home - that somebody was making a grave mistake and that I was clearly not responsible to own a pet. Of course, that was silly, but that is very close to what this feels like.

If the dictionary needed a picture of the "perfect cozy home with just the right amount of space for thinking and dreaming and living well," this house would fit the bill. Congratulations, Dr. C! It is the sweetest house ever and, yes, that front porch is fantastic. We look forward to the virtual housewarming party!
Oh, I was so hoping you would post pictures! I love it!! It looks like the house I would choose - I love older homes.

Well hell (blogger is being a pain in the arse today). Just wanted to say that your house is super cute! I am jealous, and hope it all works out for you!
What a charming space! I can see why you put in an offer.
Oh! That is the cutest! I want one! (The whole house, not just the nook.)
And dude, if I were you? There's no WAY I'd be able to pay ANY attention to ANYTHING that didn't have to do with moving into that joint. Good luck with the rest of the semester.
LOVELY. I hope you get it & enjoy!
The house is adorable. Congratulations!!!
Score!! So happy for you that things are moving forward!
The nook is nifty. Needs some nice knickknacks, no?
Awesome choice.
Now you just need to pick out new colors for those white walls. :)
Congratulations. And when I saw the house my first thought was, "what a great porch". And your nook is indeed perfect (though I'd say not enough room for my books...)
Not to frighten you, but signing the mortgage papers is even scarier than having your offer accepted. But it passes, because your house is awesomely cute, and looks happy.
everything looks amazing! congrats!!
COOLIO!
Yay! Looks GREAT!
Cute! Congrats.
Looks awesome! Love the nook.
Nice! Being a grown-up like this isn't that bad ;-)
That looks like a wonderful home. I am envious of your nook -- it seems a perfect little working space and haven1
Congratulations! It looks very very nice! How beautiful!
Congrats, it looks lovely! Big fan of the porch!
That is totally and completely adorable. Will you have a guest room big enough for all of us to come stay?

Congratulations! So great that your wait was not very long!
Very nice! I love houses with character like that, and especially like that the landscaping keeps it all visible.
The only problem is that bump in the sidewalk due to tree roots ...
It looks wonderful! Enjoy settling in.
Love it; now you need to find some cool vintage front porch chairs so you can sip your morning coffee and watch the world go by! I love the light you'll get! Fabulous.
