We bought a house!
We signed the contract on Monday, but this coincided with me getting some sort of stomach/intestinal sickness. Three days later, I’m feeling somewhat functional. Sorry for the delay. Anyway.
Yes, we bought a townhome in Lakewood, just a few blocks from my office. It’s been fixed and flipped so it has new carpet, wood panelling (trust me, it looks nice), new fixtures, and new appliances, but we still got a great deal compared to other units in the neighborhood and other homes in that price range elsewhere. It’s going to need just a little more work to get it perfect: add more storage in the kitchen, put up window coverings, get a washer/dryer (Yes! My own washer and dryer! I’ve dreamed of this day for 6 years), but minor things really.
We close in mid October, giving us a cushy two and a half weeks to clear out of our old apartment before that lease is up. Unfortunately, I’ll probably go crazy in anticipation waiting these two months.
Congratulations!I looked at the pictures and it looks like it’s going to be so cute!Can’t wait to come up and see it!
