The never-ending house update
Apr. 22nd, 2002 02:24 pmWe came, we saw, we liked - we make offer tonight.
It was really nice, REALLY big, the yard was very pretty. The owner (and landscaper - hence the yard being really pretty) walked through the whole house with us and showed us all of the updates. Its the home he was raised in (his Dad owned it as well as the 2-family next-door) and you could tell that he and his Dad cared for the property a lot.
As with all of the houses we've looked at, because its old it would need updated electrical but what it has is working property. It has pretty woodwork and maple floors, some stained glass, replacement windows (all but the stained glass ones) and lots and lots of space. And its a safe neighborhood - there is a cop that lives across the street that we saw leaving his house when we were waiting for our broker to show up. He rolled down the window and asked accusingly "can I help you" as we were parked - good to see he's looking to make sure his neighborhood is safe.
We didn't take any pictures because the wife was home sick from work and the kids were running around (is it April vacation now?) - perhaps if the offer is accepted we'll take some when we go to watch the home inspection.
Weird, again!
