Most of you know that H and I are looking to buy our first home. I mentioned this house in @allusive's thread and she asked to see pictures so here they are!
We looked at this one a week or so ago and H fell even more in love with it but I fell a little bit out of love with it. My main draw is that it's a little big for us. After discussing it in depth with H and hearing his thoughts on all of the space, I'm totally in love with the house again! We've driven around the neighborhood a few times and it's adorable and right near the train station. The commute to work wouldn't be any worse for H and it would only add about 10 minutes to my current commute.
I absolutely LOVE the porch.
Also, the entryway and those doors going into the living room. You can't see the stairs but I'm in love with them too.
There's also a formal dining room and the kitchen is on the 1st floor. I hate the kitchen and that'll be the first thing we tackle if we buy it. There's no oven and the entire space is just set up really strangely.
On the 2nd floor is the master bedroom and master bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub (!!!) and large stand up shower and also a guest bedroom and full bath:
On the third floor, there's 3 additional rooms including a giant (and weird) walk in closet. H and I decided we would make the smallest of the 3 rooms a storage area and turn the other 2 rooms into 1 big room which would be another guest room and H would keep all of his sports things in there. Although, if I get my way, the entire 3rd floor will become a cat sanctuary for me to house the 27 cats I would like to have.
There's also a full finished basement which is currently a music studio. H and I aren't musically inclined, though, so we would like to make this space a movie room. There's a half bath down there and a separate laundry area, too.
And there's a lovely backyard for Lucy to run around in, a small deck, a driveway and a shed.
Our realtor is working to get answers to a list of questions we have and depending on what happens there, I think we're going to put in an offer.
Also, H found out this morning that he's getting a 5.5% raise AND a bonus! He already agreed that the bonus can go straight to fixing up the kitchen in this house if it ends up being ours hahaha. Today is a good day
