*someday i'll buy you that house on cookman...*
[Update: The Nevada house got turned over to Freddie Mac/Home Steps. An already crazy situation just got extra ridiculous. The Zen & Cookies house is in a bidding war at full price.]
We think we found our house!
It's a 1905 "mini Victorian" that's downtown, central to 9th and 9th, Trolley Square and Liberty Park. We call it the Trolley house because we're pretty sure the extra wide street it's off of is where they ran the old school trolleys. It's got 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. At 1241 sq ft, it's smaller than most places we've looked at but it's more than enough to get us through those early family years. We especially like that its list price is really close to what we pay in rent a year. It's also mostly turn key and ready to go!
Seth is going to be in St. George for the next 2 days and when he gets back we're going to go look at it again (cue the big purchase nervousness). If we still feel good about it we're going to put an offer in. Eeeek! :) Until then, here are some pictures of the house.
Curb appeal:
Side yard (that we're going to half tear out and sod):
Backyard:
Other side yard (for gutter run-off and ice in the winter):
Foyer:
Front & dining room combo:
Kitchen:
Laundry & stairs:
Bedroom 1:
Closet in bedroom 2:
Bath 1:
Back mini addition to porch:
Up half bath:
Up bedroom (the sides are gabled and it was hard to get a good pic):
