An accepted offer! Finally!!!

Our offer wasnt accepted for Hope Farm Rd. I was so bummed by it! But I kept on looking and still wasnt finding much. Then our agent reccommended a house in the Lakeside area we love so much. Crazy thing is this is the very first house I looked at months ago. I dismissed it because back then I had a laundry list of things our home had to have, not knowing that our budget wouldnt get us all of that. So I thought ewwww and walked away. So we looked again and its like I seen it through new eyes. Its been listed since November 2010!! The price has dropped almost 10 grand!! Its moderate fixer upper.
I offered the sellers my first bid and they came back at $1000 less than asking. I offered $3000 less than asking and they pay for a survey and they agreed. We hope to take possession in 30 days.




Just look at that porch. Can you already imagine the hanging ferns, a swing and old carriage house type lights flanking the front door?















Those scraggly bushes are going buh-bye. New vinyl siding and shutters would give it much needed updating.















The back side. New deck. Cut down a tree or two.....or three.






Yes, its leaning. We'll demo it first thing to avoid law suits from when it falls over on some one. New 20x20 garage!
