We Liked It

Well, Chuck and I went to see the house I mentioned in my earlier post and we really liked it. It is 16 square feet smaller than our current house, but it didn't seem like it. The kitchen is an eat-in kitchen, but it is huge with newer vinyl flooring. I'd say the kitchen is nearly twice the size of our current kitchen. The laundry room is off of the kitchen and a newer washer and dryer come with the house. The fridge is newer, too. The living room isn't big, but it's not too tiny like some other places we've seen. There is a lot of closet space. It has 3 bedrooms and the master bedroom has a half bath. There is newer vinyl flooring and toilets in the bathrooms. The yard is small, which for us is good. Chuck was really stoked to see that it has two sheds out back. Both are really new. One is smaller and would easily store all the yard equipment. The other one is huge and could double as a work space (like with tools kind of work) and an office. If we were to use that as an office, one of the bedrooms could be used as a play room. The house also has new windows. The only drawback is that it needs new carpet desperately. We would also need to paint.

Because it is a "For Sale By Owner" house, we got to meet the owners. They are a sweet couple in their 50's who are ready to move to the Eastern Shore and relax and fish. They seemed to like us, so that is good.

We will meet with Ed in the morning to write an offer on it and see what happens. We won't be offering what they want, so we'll see how it goes. We'd love your prayers as we move forward with this. Thanks!
