Being the house-hunting newb that I am, I've been waiting until it's "real" to post about our house, but I think it's been "real" since the seller's accepted our offer a few weeks ago. I guess I expected something more special, more grand. Like all of a sudden I would FEEL like a homeowner... an experience more complex than just, we see it, we like it, we buy it! Because, it really has been that simple (and praise God it has been)! We saw this house on our second house-hunting excursion, put in an offer that day, and after a quick round of counter-offers, they accepted! Our appraisal came back right at our offer price and inspection passed with flying colors, and if all else continues to go as smoothly, we'll be receiving our keys July 10!
A little about the house: 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, separate family and living spaces, partial hardwood, sufficient yard with grass for Lucy. It's in the esteemed Stonelake community of Elk Grove, and what really sold me on the house were the amenities--beautiful clubhouse, gym, tennis and basketball courts, and pool WITH lap lanes!!!!!! THAT I am looking forward to!
It is not a short-sale, meaning a family still lives there now. And judging from our initial walk-through, it looked like they've simply outgrown their home. I love their custom paint job, but sadly, I do think I will need to paint over the bulldozers and baseball players in the kids' rooms, haha. I'm so excited to repaint and make this place our own! ... oh, and to get rid of the hideous green paisley couches that we currently own!
