The commute is pretty much acceptable for me: about an hour out of Montreal, and with the really weird hours I work, it would mean that I avoid most of the rush hour traffic.
*siiiiiigh*
Too bad I don't have the wherewithal to purchase the stupid thing. Also, I have no car, which also makes the commute problematic. :P
Not to burst any bubble but that train only has two runs out in the morning and two runs in the evening, you would need to get closer in to cummute I think Beaconsfield has a more regular schedule, but no nights and it ends late evening....I was also looking on MLS today...and when reality hit I realized that I'm stuck in the city until retirement due mainly to commute and convenience...major suckage.
Oh, me too, me too! I used to dream of a house like that. In fact, I grew up on a small version, now an historic site: Schuette House (neither of the other buildings was present at the original site. The house was moved to this museum campus.)
Phnee, I love that house for you but even if you could afford to buy it, how could you afford to keep it maintained?
I used to dream of buying my great-aunts lake house as a summer retreat. Then she went and sold it to Shania Twain, who tore it down to build something bigger. :-(
