We had been looking for the right deal and found a house that was undervalued and had a lot of the elements we were looking for (good schools, large lot, 3 car garage, bonus room, etc.) so we came in with a low ball offer and soon we were in escrow.
Here are some pictures from the inspection last week. We plan to close by 5/1 and will paint the house & put in new carpet & refinish the hardwood floors before moving in. After that, Jason will be fencing the yard so that Meg and Jake have a nice place to play.
Nice high ceilings in the entry way. The chandelier has GOT TO GO!
I have big plans for this kitchen, new granite on the counters and new appliances should greatly improve things, but it is livable in the meantime...
Nice view for me as I do dishes...
Future home of 2nd oven & microwave...
family room is off the kitchen, our realtor is sitting at the table, "Hi Debbie!"
I'm so excited about having a desk in the kitchen. I'm thinking a Mac would look great there!
Living room and dining room
Den/Playroom
Stairs
Bonus room upstairs
Hayden's Room. Going to remove chair rail, paint, etc.
Our room. Love the double doors going into it! Needs a lighter paint color though...
Upstairs Laundry Room - this is one of my favorite things!
Future guest room.
Perfect place for a window seat!
Underneath the house, with it's own entrance is a shop for Jason. The man who lived here before, did some interesting things to it...We've requested that the seller put this back to it's original state (by a licensed electrician/contractor) so we can have it properly inspected. As you can see from the pics, nothing was done correctly or up to code. It is also all unpermitted. So, if anything holds up our closing, this will be it!
we call this "drywall mosaic"
and this is why we need an electrician...
Imagine Jason's surprise when he discovered the toilet actually flushes! And the vanity sink works as well! This all needs to go!
So, that's it. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the front of the house or the street. I will snap some and add them to my next blog post.
