Oh my goodness, JP! You don't half make me laugh! I giggled all the way through this wonderful piece and just when I thought it couldn't get better I see a caption that includes "on a bike with no breaks"!😂😂 That's passion for you. I remember you talking about this house last time you were there. Wouldn't it be something if one day you actually owned it??!!! Or is the 'if only' more enticing than the veritable keys in hand?

I adore symmetry (my favourite houses are Georgian double- fronted, sigh...) and I adore weatherboard houses and particularly ones with porches. It reminds me of home ( though my home ones would be more rustic/shabby and not chic shabby😅)

Talking about that pool and your porn movie vibe take, I'm thinking of those Jackie Collins novels that had me hooked way back in the day. I couldn't get enough of them!

Thank you for sharing this, JP. Made my day.

Alas it will never be mine Franny, but we can dream. Yes indeed, the pool is a tad on the Jackie Collins side. Still, I wouldn’t say no. Happy Easter. Xx

Wowsa it is quite stunning and so interesting to have a tour. We live in an Edwardian house that was inspired by an American house with the high porch and steps ! Not much sun to be protected from here in Worcestershire although today has been a beauty. You always make me laugh, a great piece.

Well that certainly tickled my fancy! I’ll take a look down the back of my sofas to see if I can add to your £1.50 darling! Or maybe we could crowdfund?!

What a gorgeous house! I love Key West soo much. I can understand why you love going there. I’ve been 3x but not for many years. I can’t believe the price of the house, like you!

It’s changed so much, but the quieter historical area and off the beaten track restaurants are just as good. The locals are still as friendly.

“And a quick game of ping pong” 🤣🤣 spat my coffee out!!! In all seriousness, what a gorgeous home, but sadly a tad out of my price range xx

I love that about the huge overhanging canopy! Once something has a reason, a function, it becomes more aesthetically pleasing somehow

I’m warming to these eyebrow houses especially when you see them all paraded which you have clearly illustrated. Aren’t they soo interesting, different but the same . I’m very interested in architectural styles . With the ridiculous values ( is any pad worth that much money in the first place ? Like footballers wages ? ) of that area , this has it all hasn’t it ? I’d love you to have it . You’d be quite at home X

Yes to footballer’s wages Nic! How can get paid that much to kick a ball of air around?

It’s almost a double negative 😂 and when you actually look at it someone times and actually think about what they are doing it’s absolutely hilarious 🤣

This is a juicy one, JP! And the casual, spit-your-coffee-out one liners are perfect Easter eggs for this fine Sunday.

“Quick game of ping-pong,” “not with the lesbians close by..” the porno vibe of the pool. Love it all. 😂

Fun fact: I devoured all of JC’s novels in high school (what was my mother thinking?) I may have to revisit them again this summer. Fabulous instructional manuals.

Ah thank you Erin. Love them being described as perfect little Easter eggs, thank you! 🤣 Yes, I also devoured everything JC did!

I didn't see haint blue on the porch ceiling. That would lower the price at least 1 mil. I do love it though. Now I really miss my white house with all the porches. Bastard.
