I know it happened quickly, but we found a fantastic house and we're submitting an offer this evening! Whew! We saw the house on Saturday, decided to take the weekend to prayerfully think it over, and we feel very peaceful about our decision. So...here we go!
It is on an acre (ONE ACRE!!) in a nice subdivision, minutes to schools and the church, close to shopping...just very well situated. The one negative is that it is not any closer to Jason's office, so he'll still be driving about 25 minutes to work, but that isn't too bad.
It is an open floor plan (which we have missed since living in this very segmented house), three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and has a large, unfinished basement (perfect for eventually putting in two more bedrooms and living area). The house has great bones, but has many quirks (like painted grapes on the walls, green carpet in the bathroom, and plaster Greek columns as a headboard in the master bedroom), but we'll fix it up over time and really make it what we want. It isn't anything we can't live with for now. The yard is FANTASTIC, plenty of room for a garden and reading bench. There is a BIG shed in the back that is wired with electricity and water, and has a large loft. We completely fell in love with the yard. Oh yeah, and it even has a laundry shoot! Very reminiscent of Grandma's. We love it! So...we'll see how the negotiations go. Wish us luck!
