House Hunting

We haven't listed the house yet. After a double landscaping debacle (don't ask) our grass is finally thatched to our specifications and we're scheduled to have our roof treated, trim painted, and windows washed. But in pouring over potential future homes, there were two that just had to be checked out, no matter if we were ready to list. I thought it might be fun to document our house hunt on here to look back someday.

The first we went to was a 1980's Buchan--with a decent size lot (10400 SF) but a too small kitchen. Even with remodeling I just wasn't interested.



The other house I had to see strictly because it was on 1.25 acres. It would have been like living in a park--but I would have wanted to actually live in the yard, because the house itself was not Our Future Home. Another big problem was street noise. The house itself is on a cul-de-sac, but off a main road (244th,) which they recently opened up so that homes south and east of us (currently) can go down the plateau another way. In this case, it equals quite a bit of traffic next to this house. We've been so spoiled living on our cul-de-sac, and didn't even know it!

But oh! Doesn't the yard make you swoon?!
