I just got back from our real estate agents office. We have tendered our very first offer on our very first home. (It’s picture is directly below this one.)
The details
It’s a 2 story Colonial originally built in 1810 according to the township records. It was apparent relocated to this location in the 1910s or earlier. Though I’m not 100% about this, the talk is that it was once a Toll House. We look at this as not only a great house for our family, but a great place to entertain people.
It features 4 good sized bedrooms, 1 and a half baths. I like that fact that downstairs is the half bath since it’s always a little weird to have guests in my shower space. All of the bedrooms are upstairs and I like that too. It keeps the living space more private.
We love the living room and dining room. They are huge! The formal dining room is 22×11 and the living room is 19×17 at least. The living room has a fireplace and under the carpet are hardwood floors. The whole house is flooded by the many windows… We dig that. The kitchen is nice, though not fantastic. We think it’s quite usable.
Another HUGE selling point is the very large backyard. This is perfect for having fun, fires, BBQ’s on and on. We think the kids will love to have a place of their own to play. I can definitely see a playhouse going up.
Some of the other things it has are a 2.5 car garage, wrap-around porch, a nice laundry room… And a few other things I’m forgetting.
The verdict
The offer is in the sellers hands. We should find out something by Sunday evening. Eeks! This is scary, but fun at the same time.
Oh yeah
We’re leaving for Northern Ireland in 9 days. Why not buy a house?
