New House

We found a house! Yeah! Last Saturday we found a house that just felt like home. It is an old, farm house style home located in a small town. It has a nice sized yard that backs up to a wooded area, so even though it is in town, it feels very open and country-ish. Everything about it is in good shape. It sits on the side of a hill so we will be able to look out over the valley and enjoy the sunrise from the kitchen. 

We put an offer in on Monday and the owners verbally accepted the offer yesterday. It will be official in a couple of days when they sign all of the papers. Our closing date and occupancy will depend on the owners finding their new home. I am suddenly very interested in their house search:) 

This house has some great perks. First of all, the present owner is quite the gardener so there are all sorts of lovely plants and flower gardens that are already there and thriving (blueberry bushes, raspberries, strawberries, herbs, rhubarb, etc.). The house itself has an enclosed porch that has screens for summer and windows for fall and spring. The windows in most of the house are the old floor to ceiling kind that add a lot of class and light to the house. The living and dining rooms have hard wood floors and the kitchen lends itself to a retro style. The basement is superb and very usable for a 100+ year old house. All in all, we love it and we are very thankful to have found it in our price range!
