the rear view

This is the house from the back, and this is the view that sold me on the place. The screened porch is enormous and opens into the walk-out basement. The 18x24 den has a fireplace, and the downstairs 11x18 bedroom has a small half-bath (tucked under the stairs).

Upstairs are two bedrooms and two full baths, plus living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry. There's a two-car garage, if they're small cars or you never want to be able to actually open the doors a useful amount. More reasonably, it's a one-car garage with a lot of storage space. :-)

1400 square feet upstairs, plus another 819 downstairs (plus the porch and the garage), on 2.19 acres of rolling land with trees and a creek. If all goes to plan, closing on my current house will be June 16ish, with closing on this one either the same day or the next day. The current owner gets seven days to move out, and after that I'll have about three weeks to get moved before I have to be out of the current house. Somewhere in there, I want to pull down all the wallpaper and borders and repaint the walls, preferably before all my stuff is moved in and in the way.

It's going to be a very interesting summer!

Yay! Now is this the house with the less-than-optimal-but-acceptable commute, or the other one?

Congratulations! It looks like a nice place to live.

Painting and so on always takes longer than you expect: do the kitchen and bedroom first, and don't forget the ceilings. It's also a good time to put up shelf brackets; I favor the double-slot Elfa ones sole by the Container Store.

Damn, that house owns. I really love that porch. (Also, basements. Yes.)

Congratulations. It's about damn time. XD

I think the creatures are going to have a LOVELY time there as well. Glad to see the quest so well concluded.

Makes me wish I lived close enough to help with the redecorating.

I foresee a riding lawnmower in your near future, if you don't already own one :-)

congratulations!
