More House Hunting

And the search continues. If you read yesterdays post, then you know that we looked at 2 houses. Well...actually 3. Our Real Estate Agent took us to 1 that wasn't in our plans, but it actually hit the market about 10 minutes before we left our house. It was pretty nice, but there was just something that wasn't right. It said that it was over 1800 Sq Ft. But the living space just wasn't there. I would show you some pictures, but the listing isn't even available...that's how new it is. Basically it was a flip. Someone bought it for CHEAP and redid everything from the floors to the windows and the countertops and everything in between. You walk in and the eat in kitchen was to the left. Then there was a separate room off the kitchen which could have only been used for a dining room. And then right off that was the Master bedroom with a really nice walk in closet and an OK master bath. Back to the kitchen, the living room was off that, and there was a really nice sliding glass door with a really nice, big deck. So then on the other side of the house were the other 3 bedrooms. All pretty nice size with closets. The basement was completely finished with amazing tile and a full wet bar and bathroom. Our issue with this house was the "living space". There wasn't anywhere to really hang out. The living room space was just lacking. The furniture they had in it was tiny to begin with, and it still looked really crammed in there. We want more room...and being that it was over 1800 Sq Ft. We just needed more. We want a more spacious floor plan. So...on to the next. 
We saw 2 other houses that just we not up to our standards. We secretly thing that our Real Estate Agent hates us and thinks that we're never going to find something. But in reality, we're just being really picky because we want this to be our "forever home". We don't want to have to move in somewhere with the intentions of having to sell/rent again in 5-10 years. We want to grow old in this home.
So, we have 2 more appointments set up for Wednesday. One is REALLY nice. I'm super excited to see it...
The street name is super cute too! Sugar Spring! LOVE it! It's really nice, from what the pictures have to show. It's 4 bedrooms, 3 baths. 2, 094 Sq Ft. And looks like everything is updated. So, for the hefty price that it's showing, we won't have to really do anything but move in. So that's good. 
Here are the pictures.

I'm I'm thinking that IF we do end up putting an offer in on this house, I will make the room with the star on the wall Chloe's. Only because it's got the chair molding, and I really want to do pink/white/green again...but not whole walls like we have now. I'll do a post of what her room looks like now, after we find out if this will be our new home...so I can do kind of a before and after. Because I plan on making Chloe's "big girl room" sooooo good! I can't wait!!

Now, I know that I'm showing this house off like it's already my own, but this is with high hopes that the next time you see pictures of this house (hopefully) the mailbox will have "Seed" on it!!
Here's hoping!!
