in the neighborhood

i had to go to a dr.'s appointment about 25 minutes east of my house.
so after the appointment this modern house caught my eye.
so i did what anyone else would do, i took a picture and drove around the neighborhood
for more amazing and eclectic homes!

this house was the type that is narrow in width, but boy was this house long.
it went on forever!  and the detail on the right side of the house was gorgeous. 

this was the side of the house.  it is on a corner lot and was very pretty both front and side views


 new construction, i don't think they are quite finished
 and this beauty was sitting on top of a large hill.
i love these suburban neighborhoods that have unique, custom homes
as well as a nice wooded, hilly area.  it almost feels like you aren't right in the middle
of the "land of flat."
those of you from either coasts may not appreciate the hills and winding roads that you may have.
here in the midwest, it's pretty much one level with the exception of a few choice neighborhoods.
