After Shooting Star was inspected, we changed our minds. We knew this place was a fixer-upper, but we didn't know the whole master bathroom needed to be basically gutted. There were some major leaking issues. We thought about repairing it but decided we would pass on this good home and look for a better one. Mike and I already have our eyes on another... What an exciting time! So many good homes. Which one is right for us???
WE ARE GOING TO LIVE ON SHOOTING STAR AVENUE!!!
"Shooting Star" is what we've named this house and we've compared every other house to Shooting Star. Wow, what a journey it has been so far! Our house hunt has seemed like one big roller coaster ride, but right now I couldn't be happier! We finally had our offer accepted on a house. And it was our FIRST house to ever put an offer on. This house has stuck out in our minds all throughout our house hunt. We put an offer on this house in March, but because it's a short sale, we hadn't heard a thing about it all of these months. We got the exciting phone call last week stating that our offer was accepted when there were four other offers. We found this out the day after we put an offer in on the last house. We had to do a little thinking, but we instantly knew what felt right. The last house we put an offer on was move in ready. It was nice and clean. However, there were several things that bothered me about it that I decided I could live with if our offer was accepted. With Shooting Star, it needs A LOT of work. But it has the potential to be everything we want it to be. It's abolutely everything we want. With new carpet, floors and paint, it will be a whole new house. We have already posted about this house on a blog before, so if you're interested in more details look for our past blog. I am including pictures of our house. Imagine it when it is clean with new carpet, floors and paint. And send me any ideas or inspiration you might have. I can't wait to send AFTER pictures in a couple of months after we've done some work :) We should close on the house within the next 2-3 weeks. I will keep you posted!
