Just When We Thought it was Hopeless...

... we found a home!

It was hiding from us the whole time! Around the corner and down the street...


So I can't believe how lucky we were with this place. First of all, it was being sold without a real estate agent, privately. That in itself is worth an extra $10K ;-) It was such a different experience dealing directly with the owner.

So.. we exchanged with a 10 day cooling off period yesterday! Its a 2 storey townhouse, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car. Ground floor has a good sized living and dining area (DINING area! Finally, to have people over again!!). The kitchen is electric, with a dishwasher (WOO-bloody-HOO!), laundry, WC and exit to the garage and courtyard. The first floor has 3 great size bedrooms, enormous bathroom (with room for a Spa in the future!!) and seperate WC. The main bedroom has a walk through closet, into the bathroom. Josie's room is painted pink and purple, and has a built in, and the third bedroom has a built in.

The townhouse is in a gorgeous complex with about 80 properties. There is visitors parking all over the place. Mostly owners, and mostly older people.

We are so excited! And so nervous! But SO excited!!

So its a long settlement, as per the seller's request, but suits us just fine cause we are able to save a heap of money in those few months! We move in for my birthday mid September!

Best. Birthday. Ever!

Congratulations Mari but since when did the loo become a WC? That's way to politcally correct :)
