We're buying a house!!

I've been down in *southern state we are moving to for my job* for the past week looking at houses, and I found a house that is AWESOME, and we are now under contract to buy this house!! We will be closing on July 15th!! This house is great- and here's some pictures of its awesomeness:

living room

It also has a pretty big backyard that is mostly fenced- just need to add a gate at one end and it'll be great for Barkley to run around in.

I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED!!!! I can't believe I get to own a house as awesome as this one!!! And we can actually afford it too, yay the south!!!

  6. Looks awesome.
    Check the isolation
    (by the way: what type of isolation do you need in this climate?)

  7. Wow, that kitchen is awesome.

    Do they use the master bedroom as a childrens room now?

  8. Looks great. My only real comment - all the rooms seem to be painted the same color.

  9. isolation? The house is in the middle of a suburb just at the edge of the center city, not isolated at all. Decided to go with a place that's only a 5 minute drive from my new job, in a neighborhood known for artsy and academic people.

  14. This house was built in the forties? That's pretty cool... From the looks of it, the house has had a few renovations since it looks a little modern-ish. Anyway, it looks great. Congrats, and best of luck to you guys!

  15. The house does look amazing. :D Good thing it was well kept over the years. Did you make any changes on its interior or exterior? If yes, hope to see updates about your home projects. :D
