The neighborhood is perfect, all the houses are nicely maintained (except one...of course!), the road is quiet. The houses is in a cul-de-sac and on a large corner lot.
Isn't she purrrrty?!
The current homeowner has been in it since construction and he had extra windows put into the house so it is extremely naturally well-lit. Which is perfect for my night-shift habit.
It has 3 beds, 3 baths, and an office. The kitchen and baths were all upgraded 2 years ago. And it's within our price range.
Why don't we own it yet??? Great question:
The back yard is a gulley. With water running through the middle of it from a storm drain. The "creek" is actually supposed to be within the back 15 feet of the property instead of the middle.
We put in an offer with the contingency that the owner moves the run-off to where it's supposed to be. He declined, so today we had a landscape company come and bid out the work for us to have it moved. Depending on what the bid is, we may put in another offer on the house. We can work with the sloped yard, that doesn't bother us too much. Running water is a whole 'nother story.
Cross your fingers for us!
