The Ball is Rolling....

So I know it's been a week since we were in NH but things have been up in the air and I wanted to wait until the ball was really rolling before posting about our trip. There are lots of good things to report!

First (and still keeping our fingers crossed on this one) we accepted an offer on our house. In the real estate world that means we are now "under agreement". They had their home inspection and termite inspection and we are now just waiting for the official report, but it sounds like it went pretty well. We got word on one of the items that our hot water heater was leaking. It was over 15 years old and so we just had it replaced. Hopefully the rest of the items are as easy (but cheaper) to take care of. Again this is all still up in the air, but things are moving forward which is nice.

Second is we found (in my opinion) the perfect place to live. It's in Revere right near the water. The doc says it would be even more perfect if it wasn't in Revere. We have a pretty decent view of Boston from our front window. We just sent the lease, first and last months rent and the security deposit via FedEx today. I am so excited about this place. I seriously fell in love the second I walked in and smelled the fresh paint, newly waxed floors and soaked in the beautiful sunlight that fills the house in the late afternoon.

It is a duplex with a one car garage and small driveway. Our side is the one on the right.



Inside on the second floor is the open kitchen/living room area. The kitchen is gorgeous. I even like the black appliances. I have always been partial to chrome but I may have to reconsider as I can't get over how nice the black looks in this space. On this floor there is also a half bath, closet space for coats and shoes, the doorway to the small patio (similar to the one we have here in Philly) and a sliding glass doors open up to the front where we could also put a couple chairs for relaxing after a long day. There is also one of those faux fireplaces that could be nice for some ambiance in the winter!





That brings us to the third floor where there is the 3 bedrooms, the full bath, stackable washer & dryer that is stored in a closet space so it's not seen when not in use. The master bedroom even has a bathroom that has a stall shower. Not that we needed 2.5 baths but hey...why not, right!


I can't believe that in less than two months we'll be home! We have already done the standard research of the area that will be our home for the next four years - you know, nearest Dunks, Chinese, and Target! I am happy to say that all three are within a mile of our new place!

All in all it was a very productive week for us. I have some pictures of David's week in NH that I promise to post later. But for now keep your fingers crossed for us as nothing is set in stone yet!
