Oh well.

So the gorgeous house with acreage is, in fact, really close to what turned out to be a really active train yard. Not just the tracks, but the actual loading yard and what have you, and the amount of noise on a weekday was quite simply appalling. The roof is also due to be replaced sooner rather than later, and all in all, in spite of being absolutely gorgeous, it's going on the back burner.

I will keep looking. I'm disappointed, but the more I think about it, the more I think that not buying this is a good decision.

*sigh*

Onward and upward, I guess!
