okay, seriously? michael should just go and look at these houses by himself because i fall in love too easily. we drove by the house yesterday to check out the neighborhood and look in the windows and ended up liking the house a lot. there were things about it that we really liked, and things that we weren't too crazy about. for example, there is a train track just across the street. it's a line of houses and a street away and michael and i actually don't mind the train so much, we're just worried that it might be an issue later if/when we want to sell the house. also, the side yard is completely covered in cement, no grass for joey (to tinkle on) and limited gardening for me. i guess we could always take a sledge hammer to the cement and grow some grass i suppose, a lot of work though.
from what we saw from the windows so far, we like the floorplan. as you walk into the house, the stairs leading to the second level and the 1/2 bath are on your right and the livingroom is on your left. straight ahead is the dining area and kitchen. we're guessing that the three bedrooms and other bathrooms are upstairs, which i'm absolutely crazy for because you don't have to worry about clearing your dirty jeans from the bedroom before people come over. yay! i'd like to call it "selective guest cleaning" where you only have to clean up the areas where people actually see. so far we don't have this option with a one bedroom apartment!
NOTE to thomas and maria: there is a cute house in the neighborhood two streets away for sale. i forget what prices you were looking for but call me if you want the address.
i'm calling our realtor today to see if we can go view the rest of the house tomorrow. also, we still need to meet with the credit union to get pre-approved before we can actually get serious about a house, which we will do friday.

As an agent, yes, please do get pre-approved first, and then enjoy looking! May your house come quickly to you!
We actually went to look at that house a while back...I love it, but you're right not much grass. But there is a park! We were thinking that we would feel to bad for the neighbors if we were to move in, you know because of our unruly beasts. I think that we are just going to have to wait until our lease ends or after nursing school, that way we could put down a nice down payment. We'll see?!?! But good luck! I think that its soooooooooooo cute!
Wow ... Three bedrooms! That's good! It just looks so small from the front. What is the square footage?
