I have this existential realiazation of how much I could live like royalty if I was willing to move back to the Midwest.

What a bargain. I can't believe you get all that for $500k.

I especially like that two people can handwrite a letter on proper stationery while enjoying a pint of wine under the watchful gaze of a third.

But I *really* love that the third person can relax in the Andrew Martin Spitfire Pod while watching those two people try to climb a 15-foot ladder after a few pints of wine. And the fact that the neighbors can also watch from their attic dormer is just a cherry on top.

I thoroughly approve, with one concern: How old are the neighbors to the north? Because their patio is an ideal spot for keeping you awake.

I think you want them in their early 50s, so their kids have already gone off to college, but you still have 20 years of quiet enjoyment before you all head off to a senior living facility.
