WOW! Living in a house like that, I wouldn't give it up for no one. The peace, tranquility, freedom, why would I ever leave and then to go to Florida??? I have questions. I know, a man. We Always sacrifice for a man. I wish her the best. The one thing I really appreciated about her is that she paid $100,000 for the house & is asking for $132,900. Love that she's not greedy as so many others are. That's a wonderful house. It's Almost how I had pictured my tiny house, if I were to purchase one. I wish her Happiness Always! 🌻

It’s a fantastic house, made even better by the fact it comes with a parking spot (if desired 😉)! Such a bittersweet transition for her, for sure ❤️

Yes, I agree. Regrets are sacrificing who you are for a man. I'd rather live a life of traveling, independence, and volunteering instead of giving it all up for a man.

Full size appliances including the washer & dryer Granite counter tops which I love seeing instead of the usual butcher block. Nice size kitchen & bathroom that doesn't feel like a coffin. 340 sq ft + spacious lofts, tons of storage, 2 doors, lots of windows, wonderful amenities. I love how she decorated it, the only thing I would add is plants and mirrors. I would not sell this Gem for no man just in case it doesn't work out, you Always have to have a back up plan.

*As a woman who "gave up" her journey for love, it's HELLA DIFFICULT! I lived my van life journey for almost 6 years. In 2021 I moved in with My Love, we met during the pandemic and celebrated 3 years together in August. I'm STILL struggling with not being full time van life and have given him until I'm 55 (in 3 years) to come back with me on the road or we transition to a long distance relationship. Although I've gained SO much, I also feel like I've lost some of myself and have been grieving. I'm trying to forge a new journey and hope to be able to squeeze some kinda van life, here and there, in my life. Good luck to you in your new journey!*

[@cynthiaharrison4610]

I hope you don't sell it. I sold mine in 2014 to move to Ecuador with my best friend of 13 years. I stepped off the plane in Guayaquil and knew I'd made the biggest mistake of my life. The sweetest guy I'd ever known let his mask fall and revealed a monster. He was a malignant narcissist. He had never been my friend. He was only grooming me. Once he had me isolated from friends and family all hell broke loose. Not the least of which was draining my finances. I was 60 at the time. I'm not trying to discourage you from finding love. Only trying to encourage you to have a backup plan. And as others have said, if it all works out well, you and your new beau have a lovely summer home to visit.

Great tiny home, it screams with quality all around. However I wonder about the mobility with such dimensions (width and height). Since the height is over what is allowed right? And that width requires a special permit? Anyway, it shows that a tiny house can be packed with full size appliances with no compromises (my preference as well) and functionality, and comfort. For a narrower. shorter one (most ones if not all...) it can be compensated by being longer. Cheers

[@lisadavis4279]

Maybe AirBNB it and use it as a place to stay when you come back to visit your kids. Typically you can pay a management company a fee to manage it for you if the property company allows you to do so. They should as many people want to test living in a tiny house before they buy one. The property owners would benefit from potential renters testing if they want to rent there as well. You should be able to easily cover your rent and utility costs. You could probably charge $100/night to rent it.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great idea!
