Follow-Up on the Homes

So last night we saw 2 homes. A 2 story and the single story I posted a photo of yesterday.



The single story was being re-painted when we viewed it. It had potential to be nice, but whoever owned it previously did NOT take good care of it. The new owner was in there taking out carpet in installing tile, re-painting, and getting the carpets cleaned. It would be a good 40 minute drive for Jon (blah). We just weren't quite "sold" on it. I told her to get back in touch w/ me when she's done cleaning it up and everything and we'll come look at it again. It WAS huge though!


The 2 story was my ideal home. The ONLY 2 drawbacks (that made the home a complete deal-breaker, which sucks).... Was it was almost an HOUR drive for Jon to work (Nooo thanks) and there was seriously NO living room. Yeah, 2 story home, almost 3000 sqft and NO living space! You walked in to a little formal room that you can fit NOTHING in, a large dining room, large kitchen, all bedrooms upstairs were HUGE. But downstairs in the living room you could MAYBE fit a couch in it. Seriously! We told the agent there's no possible way we could live in there and not have our living room furniture fit comfortably. Too bad though. You live and learn!



We have a couple other options right now, but it's looking like we'll not be moving in March. No worries!
