It's a split level with 3 bedrooms up and 1 down. (yes, stairs!!) Original wood floors upstairs and new carpet down. New cabinets and paint and even the bushes in front of the house have the tags on them. There is a full fenced yard for my grandpuppy and the house backs up to a park. Tee hee!! Yes, I want to add shutters, I need to hang window treatments in every. single. room. The bathroom needs a fan. In time, it will all happen. But it's mine. All of it.
It's a flip done by a rehabbing company that bought the house, gutted it and gave me an almost new house that was built in 1966. Exciting? Yes, very!
Are we moved in? Well.. there are 2 boxes packed, I've gone through my closet and have 3 bags for Goodwill or for someone who will come pick them up. I bought new litter boxes and brought them over to the new house today but beyond that .. no.
My rent for February is paid, I don't have to make a mortgage payment until March, I'm going to take my time and try not to take anything with me I'm going to want to get rid of anyway. And frankly, I was unwilling to pack a thing until I knew it was really true.
It will be a process.
WOO FREAKING HOO!!!
And one of the best parts? More room, nicer place, and my mortgage payments (including taxes and insurance) will be about $350.00 less a month than my rent has been for the last 7 years and my interest rate is fabulous. Hard to beat that!

Congratulations! It sounds great. I have one bit of advice about packing, keep a list of everything in each box and number that box. On the move before this last one, I had to open every box before I found what I wanted.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new home.
Love the yard. And the wood floors. I is beautiful! Good luck with the packing and moving, sounds like you have a good plan in place. If I were closer, I would come help.
ReplyDeleteYes Cathy, I am not putting lists in the boxes but I am keeping them on the small-ish side, writing a description and what room they go in on the outside.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh Tonya - just someone to talk to while I pack would be lovely!
Congratulations, I so envy you.. there is no way I could ever afford to buy a place.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your move :)
Your new place looks wonderful! Congratulations! I've been waiting for this post for quite some time!
