What we LOVE about this house
Looking at houses can cause you to nit pick every little thing, and by the way, you should – its a BIG investment! That being said it’s so important to be able to see the positive things or you’ll go crazy and feel hopeless that there isn’t a house out there for you. Because we were looking for a house with some projects to do, it definitely helped frame things we didn’t love as an opportunity, but I want to talk a bit about what made us fall in love with this house.
- Space : We asked ourselves several times if we were overcorrecting after being locked in such a small space for quarantine… after all, a 4 bedroom house for a couple with no kids is a lot of space. But we love that this house has space to spread out, tons of entertaining space, and plenty of space to host our friends and family from across the country! It really doesn’t feel like too much house when we walk through.
- Architecturally unique : As someone who is trained in architecture, I was looking for a house with some cool character. When I saw this three sided fireplace, I was absolutely sold!
- Outdoor space/porch : After living in the city for the past couple years, we were really excited to have some great outdoor space. Besides the amazing backyard, this house has a huge back porch and the potential for an outdoor dining space, grill and some patio furniture made for soaking up the sun (that was a non negotiable now that we’re losing our downtown pool).
- Office : On the listing, this particular room caught our eye. This room has 2 walls of nearly solid windows, where all you can see is trees! It is by far my favorite room in the house – I am so excited that this room will give us a chance to feel like were outside even on the coldest winter days.
This list could continue, but I’ll stop at the highlight reel! It’s a weird feeling for a house to feel like home before you live there, but this one had that, on top of all these great perks. We cannot wait to move in!
