We looked at three houses today. I fell in love with the second of the three.
We are looking for a ranch style house (one floor), with a full basement, and an attached two-car garage. We would like a master bedroom suite and two or possibly three additional bedrooms, with at least two full bathrooms. It would be nice if the basement is finished, but that isn’t required. We are looking at houses in a range of size from 1500-2400 square feet. We hope to find a house with a much smaller lawn, to limit the mowing.
The house I liked today has a master bed room at one end of a hall, and the other two bedrooms were on the opposite side of the house. It’s very sunny. The basement is not completely finished, but it has a full bath. It would make an exceptional quilting studio, as long as I could do the stairs. The back yard is tiny, and the landscaping is phenomenal! There’s a pocket lawn surrounded by a mulched area with an amazing assortment of trees. My mother would have loved this house! I hope we will have the chance to bid on it.
It is amazing how many houses have 3 bedrooms and only one bathroom (2 BR’s, I get only having 1 bath – but 3?). Hope you have a successful bid on the house you like.
One bathroom would NEVER work for us, Bogie! You’d think they would at least have a bath and a powder room. My Dad had four girls, and a son. When he built the house I grew up in, he put in three baths so that no one would complain that they couldn’t get to school on time because one of the girls was hogging the bathroom. That was unusual for the time, though. The bid on our house, and on the house we hope to buy all seem to be moving forward to a happy conclusion. Thanks!
