Linds and I have bought a house!
Actually, we close on December 18, so we haven't officially acquired it yet, but we're in the process. It's a foreclosure, so there has been a lot of paperwork and such involved, but so far has been a pretty good experience. I just can't wait to move in!
A quick rundown:
5 acres
1700 sq ft
3 bedroom
2 1/2 bath
Stainless steel appliances in the kitchen
Hardwood floors in the dining room, kitchen, and breakfast nook
Berber carpet throughout rest of house
Wood fireplace (will probably convert to gas immediately)
There are 2 decent sized sheds, as well as a small barn-thing already on the property. Nearly the entire lot was cleared when the house was built, but it has become quite overgrown, so we're going to work on actually having a yard as a first step.
The house is dead center between Richmond and Charlottesville, and is maybe 10 minutes off I-64, about 3 minutes off of a major highway.
And a couple quick pictures. I've only attached a couple pictures b/c I didn't want this post to rediculously huge to give a "tour", and the colors of the house should be considerably different once we move in. Plus, it was getting dark outside when we were taking the pics
woohoooo!
