Mike and I just looked at this AWESOME place. Ok so we have been looking at apartments and houses all week (because our land lord sucks) and we have looked at some real interesting ones. Ranging from $500/mo crack houses to $1100/mo victorian houses. One place, the floors for crooked and the smell of cat pee-overwhelming. The "landlord" (or slumlord) wore several gold medallians and gold rings!!! What a character! Another place was a large victorian house, it was really pretty, but a little our of our range since no utilities were included.
Then, just now, we looked at this really pretty gray house, with a nice deck and garage...we liked the outside. When we went in, it was wonderful. The kitchen had tile floors, track lighting, and tiled counter tops with an island. It was open to the dining room too. The dining room had all wood floors leading into the livingroom. (hardwood floors!). Then up stairs were 2 rooms. The first was a bedroom with cathedral ceilings and exposed beams!!! And sky lights!!! And another big window! Lots of storage too! In the other room, it was a bed room, but we would have it an office (no kids and all...) and it also had a sky light. There was also a cute little bathroom beside the bedrooms, it was small, but very nicely decorated...the whole place was. The colors were exactly what I would have chosen too. It is an message....I have to live there! The couple who were renting it out were a young couple, she was pregnant and I guess that is why they were leaving it, it was too small for them and they also already had a kid.
No dogs allowed though...but I think I can live with not getting that puppy I really wanted. Wow, I am just so excited. I think they really liked us too. They said there is two more people coming to look at the place and they will call us by Tuesday about it, they mentioned they want to give other people a chance to look at it...but it sounded like they wanted us in it, and we mentioned we can give them money next week. $800/mo plus deposit. Not bad for a house.
I am so excited! yay!
