Life After I "Dew": House Hunters Part II

House Hunters Part II

Well the house we saw this weekend wasn't all we had hoped for, the neighborhood more than anything. It was in a nice location but the neighborhood itself didn't sit well with us. It's that kind of neighborhood that is fine right now but you could see it going downhill in a few short years. Plus, we didn't know this, it was a foreclosure. So it didn't look as nice in person as it did in the pictures. The carpet was pretty much trashed in the upstairs, looks like the owners had a dog that dug at the doors. Also the yard looked MUCH bigger online than it did in person. There also wasn't much living space, tons of bedrooms but a tiny living room. SO...on to the next!

We are looking at this place on Wednesday. It's a ranch style home, which Future Mr LOVES. It has 3 bedrooms 1.5 bath, a BIG deck, decent sized yard, shed for Future Mr, a MUD ROOM so when he comes home he won't be bringing all his dirt with him, and it was completely renovated this year with all new appliances, wood floors, new water heater, roof, furnace and electrical panel. This place seriously looks promising to us and we've already done a Google Map on the location so we know the area is good. I really hope this one goes good b/c based on pictures and description, I AM IN LOVE!

Kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances and solid hardwood floors

Hello, organization. Love.

Baths have been completely renovated, new tile, plumbing, tub, vanity, etc.

This might be my favorite, the mud room

other side of the basement

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing that we are so in love with this place. I really can't wait to go see it in person Wednesday. I hope it's everything we think it will be. It really has the qualities that both of us are looking for, basement, fenced in yard, deck, hardwood, good schools, I really don't think we will find anything else that seems to fit us so well. Wish us luck!
