We’re under contract!

April 21, 2010 by Adrienne

Ah, the excitement. I’ve spent far too much time on the phone lately, but finally… we found a house, made an offer, accepted their counter offer, and we’re under contract! So very cool. I copied/saved photos, just to give you a little mini tour, but first, some details. It’s 6 miles from town, nine miles to work for Blaine. There are five acres, with which we hope to grow a large garden, get some chickens soon, and maybe more animals later. And now, if you don’t mind my copied realtor photos…

fireplace off of living room
kitchen/dining room
kitchen sink – just because it’s pretty 🙂 Or maybe it’s the light that’s pretty, I’m not sure. Either way, I’ll get to look at it often, since we have to buy a dishwasher, and Blaine tells me that’s not real high on the priority list for the moment!

bedroom – only one photo but it has two bedrooms – and they both look alike
porch off side of house – the sliding doors are off of the kitchen – This is where we think we’ll add on another bedroom/bathroom – someday.
The bedrooms are above the garage – these stairs go up to the bedrooms.

Likely to be Blaine’s fun – a shop, and a big one at that.
Yes, it’s only two bedrooms. But it was the closest thing we found to what we wanted, where we wanted it. We hope to add a master bedroom and bathroom on in a few years – before Sterling gets too big to share a room with his sisters! In the meantime, we’re very excited. Very. Hope to close the end of May. Oh – and in the meantime, the seller is putting a new roof on it, because those wavy photos – the roof is pretty wavy too. That porch shot isn’t just camera problems… or maybe “isn’t the camera’s problem” is a better way to say that.
