Good luck with the search. Back when I bought this houses there weren't many photos through the house showing up online, and the front of it was absolutely ugly. I passed by it many times then finally decided I should look to rule it off the list that kept turning up.

We're now entering the really hot stage of summer (that we amazingly didn't enter two or three weeks ago) when strategic watering to keep the house foundation from huge shifts (and cracking walls) is hand-in-hand with with enough water on the garden without mortgaging the house to pay the water bill. I bought three new soaker hoses recently and put out only one so far, but this week at least one more will be put in place along the west side of the house to water that foundation. And time for the ice chest on the porch with water for delivery folks.

It is at least two years since the last garden that had much production so I'm struggling to remember what the meals are that use more of the produce so it gets used fast enough. Plus I've shifted to gluten free, that removes a few recipes. Along with sharing with others, I'm eating and soon freezing or canning. The tomatoes are looking like they're going to produce a few pints soon, so the gear will be at the ready.
