On Friday, March 2nd Elise and I closed on our new house. After searching long and hard, we finally were able to pick up a nice house that has some great features. Looking for a house that needed some work was proving to be difficult, as every house we did go see was either a dive or had an accepted offer already. I was able to spot this one the day it was listed and 24 hours later we had an offer on the table. We were the first of two offers, and the seller (an estate) decided to select ours. After inspections, finances, viewings, and signing our life away, we are now homeowners once again.
As is common with estate sales, the house needed some modernizing. We spent the first weekend painting ceilings and the second weekend painting the walls. The new (used) appliances are in and the old carpets are out. Enjoy these photos of the current project. Once all the dust has settled, I’ll be sure to post some before-and-after shots.
