We are now closer and closer to purchasing a new home. We made an offer on the pictured house. It was accepted, and a contract was then drawn up an signed. Assuming that everything goes well, we will close on April 27. Between now and then we just have to inspect numerous things and wait. Considering the house is only four years old, there’s really nothing much that worries us as far as the inspections go. It’s the waiting part that is difficult to live with. It’s just that we want to move in now because while we love our apartment, it is just making us feel claustrophobic.
The low down on the house is that it’s a two story, four bedroom house with 2.5 baths. The master bedroom sits on the first floor, but until Kasia is grown, we’ll probably use it as an office. The second floor has three bedrooms and the guest bath. The first floor features (say that ten times fast) the great room with a gas fireplace (it’s propane... just to make Hank Hill happy (again with the alliteration. What’s up with me today?)). The front also features an attached two car garage along with a very nice porch for sitting on to watch the sunset and sipping lemonade.
The backyard, as I mentioned before, backs up to the golf course. While we weren’t crazy about it at first, we’ve come to realize that there are certain advantages to it. The backyard is also rather large, which is great for playing around in, but bad for having to mow. The one thing it doesn’t have yet is a deck, and that’s my first priority of things to do. The guy down the road built a screened in porch and deck onto his house, and I know that I can totally beat that. It’s just that I have zero experience when it comes to deck building. So if anyone out there has any ideas or tips, I’m more than willing to listen.
I’ve put some of the pictures up in the Photos section.
All the other pictures that I have are just of the bedrooms, and there’s nothing really exciting about looking at someone else’s furniture. I’ll post more pictures when I get some, or after we move in and all of our furniture is in there. Now THAT’s exciting stuff.
