A New House!

It looks like we have a house! We have been casually looking for several weeks on our own, just hitting the open houses, but went out last Saturday with our agent and came back with 3 we liked- we ended up putting an offer on the first one on Monday night, and after a couple back and forth counters, the sellers agreed to our price and signed off on Tuesday!

We will do inspections tomorrow, and as long as everything checks out ok, things should go forward for a closing on June 18!

It is 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, about 2500 sf, on about half acre, colonial, built in 1970, but very well maintained, we won't need to do any work on it. Big yard with a small section of hill in the back perfect for sledding in the winter! It also has a huge finished basement, ready to become our new rec room, and has a laundry room on the first floor- I am so tired of hauling laundry all the way to the basement in this rental! Another plus is that it is only a couple blocks to the bus line, so I can be more mobile! It is also in a great family neighborhood, with lots of kids, and light enough traffic, I feel comfortable letting Amy ride around on her bike further than just back and forth in front of the house!
