Seems to me that you're leaning towards #2, assuming you want the pool.
To be honest I don't know what I am leaning towards. Pool is nice, but you guys scared the living crap out of me in the other thread about maintenance
I've never owned a house before, so everything scares me right now. Easements, basements flooding, trees falling, pools cracking, plumbing exploding, etc.. is starting to slowly replace the great feeling of finally buying house with a black and white picture of a post-apocalyptic world
