House Tour!

We are officially under contract, so I thought I would share a quick tour of the house. We have to get an inspection and an appraisal, have two walk throughs, and find out about needing flood insurance before it is ours. Whew! Going to be a long 3 weeks. (Yes, we are hoping to close in 3 weeks!)


The Master Bedroom


Where I will spend lots of time...


Double Sinks and an Expanded Shower (in the reflection)


Living Room


I told John I might just sleep in here...

(It has a dishwasher! storage! a pantry! counter space! no washer and dryer! We won't know what to do with ourselves!)


Dining Room (off kitchen)



Bedrooms #2 and #3 (basically the same)

If it's not obvious, here is why we chose this house:
-KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Layout (split floor plan and very open)
-Ready to move in
-Lot, you can't really tell much from the pictures, but in a subdivision- this is about as good as it will get. No one can build behind us since there is a creek (although we may have to get flood insurance.) We are the last lot of our subdivision, and next door will be another subdivision's community area (no house!) And there is a line of trees between our house and where the community area will be.

Drawbacks:
-Lot (wait, wasn't this a plus!?) We might have to get flood insurance, which will cost $$ each month. And the backyard is pretty steep since they build it up so the house wouldn't be in the flood zone. We will have to put a fence in before any of our friends' kids come over (or we get a puppy...)
-It was at the top of our price range, but thankfully, we didn't have to pay list price.
-We will be in a construction zone while they are building other houses. Thankfully, the subdivision is in its last phase, and there can only be construction on one side of us!

So, assuming everything goes well... we will have a dishwasher by next month (although it should be sooner than that!)

Next month? I thought you married your dishwasher back in 2009?
