Details
We have an accepted offer. All we need now is to convince the banks to give us lots of money. I'm transferring money from random accounts and we returned all our beer bottles. I'll hunt through the couch cushions today and we should be all good.
The house is biking distance to work, backs onto a park, was built in 1946 and is just as pretty as the pictures.
I want to rearrange the kitchen and Mr Bob needs to build a garage/workshop and eventually change one of the bedrooms (4 bedrooms, 1200 square feet) into a bathroom, but we both love the place and it was far and away the nicest place we saw.
We are both a bit suprised because we were just looking at this stage (no mortgage setup or anything) and didn't plan to seriously look until May (when I would be back from Boston again). We also didn't expect our offer to be accepted. (Someone else did offer more, but our realtor convinced the sellers that our financing was more reliable *snerk*).
Um.. yeah...
What a lovely house Bob! Love the hardwood floors and that bathtub looks terrific. Best of luck with everything.
How do you get 4 bedrooms in 1200 Square feet?
It is very cute however! Old houses have lots of charm! Be sure you get an inspection done!
The rooms are not super small (10 by 12 average) but there are almost no closets, only one bathroom and no utility room, foyer or anything extra like that. Basically, it's a 1000 square foot 2 bedroom place with two extra bedrooms.
There is also a nice big deck. Yeah deck!
(Offer is conditional on the inspection)
Oh I love it! It looks like a lot of property too! I am very jealous of those floors!
GOod luck Bob! Have fun breaking in every room!
It looks lovely, Bob! Lots of cupboards in the kitchen and I love that kind of B&W tile on the bathroom floor.
You can make the smallest bedroom into a huge walk-in closet!
How far from the ocean are you?
I want that bathtub!!!!
congratulations on finally growing up. *grin*
Congrats Bob! Looks like a great place. Our house is about that size too.
LOVE the house, Bob! How exciting!! Congratulations!
OMG! That is the cutest house ever!
You are going to love that bathtub, I used to have one like that, so deep and relaxing.
Congratultaions!!!
Yay Bob!
I too love your floors.
Our old house was 1300 square feet, so I can relate and can see where our den or living room could have been a 4th bedroom. How exciting it would be to turn a bedroom into a bathroom.
I grew up in a house with no closets. None. We had wardrobes in many rooms.
Very nice Ms. Bob! How exciting!
When can I come visit?
