No More Looking

We found an awesome place about two weeks ago. We made a move on it, saw it this past Monday, put in our applications, and were informed today it was ours! We start the move on the twenty first of April.

So the details...

I know we were looking for smaller, but we settled for bigger and more well planned space instead. It is also cheaper than what we pay now; not insanely cheaper but worth every penny of rent.

We found another three story, two bedroom two bathroom townhouse, but there are some amazing differences. With this place we will have a two car tandem garage with tons of room for storage and for Collin to have a little techie nerd work bench. At the back of the garage there is a door out onto an okay sized porch with a little fenced in "yard." The yard is pretty much NO maintenance which is cool, I am not sure what we would really do with it.

On the second floor is the kitchen, dining room, and living room. I LOVE the way the rooms are laid out. The living room has a gas fireplace and some built in shelves. The kitchen has a PANTRY!! So I can actually use my huge bookcase for books! Off the living room (which is in the back part of the townhouse) is a GINORMOUS deck. I can totally see a couple chairs and a table out there with our grill.

On the third floor is the washer and dryer and two huge bedrooms. The master has an attached bath and then the second is out in the hall right next to the second bedroom. There is a walk in closet in the master; which I am not sure what I will do with it having donated most of my clothes to Goodwill....

There is a ton of storage through out the place and it is only .7 miles from where we currently live, and that is .7 closer to my work and the Max. I am so glad we were able to find something in the area we have fallen in love with. Also, one of my really good friends from work lives like four houses away! So, we lose the nerd domicile/man cave (that really didn't get used), and all of our toilets are still on the third floor, but we gain roughly two hundred square feet for LESS than we pay NOW, and we stay in the area we love (and is convenient for our life right now). Oh, and did I mention we yet again managed to find something that backs to a park/green space. Yes, our views consist of gorgeous trees!

I am beyond happy and relieved. Lord willing, this will be the last time we move until we are ready to buy! I don't want to have to look at rentals again, next time I want it to be for something much more permanent.

I feel like I am missing some details but there will be pictures after the move. Distracted by dinner. We are celebrating.

Pizza!
