What an adventure I tell you and a stressful one at that. Trying to find a house from across the country is difficult. One they are going kind of fast, which is surprising considering our economic times. However you can get a really good deal if you are a buyer right now.
Now we looked at around 15 houses the first day with several more to follow the next few days. By the the second day we had it down to two and by that afternoon we knew what direction we wanted to go. We put in our application, filled out three hours worth of paperwork and made a deposit. The last few days have been about waiting and we got word a couple days ago that everything was moving forward. The house should close in thirty days.
I didn't get too many photos, but this gives an idea of the house. It is really charming from the outside and has a big enough porch for a couple of rocking chairs and side table. We plan to add some shrubs and flowers to bring some color to the front yard. The house is bigger than it looks at around 3,000 SF. We will be swimming in space considering we currently live in around 1,100 SF. It is space well needed and earned.
I will share some interior photos when I talk about my ideas of what I would like to do with each space. I am so excited for all the projects I will have! My husband has already made a list of things he wants to do first, picked out paint and started picking out furniture he likes. Funny I thought I was the designer in the family!
