3rd Times a Charm :)

Yesterday, Rene and I went house hunting again and the day was pretty productive. We increased our searching area and looked at a ton more homes. There were two homes we liked. One was a little smaller but absolutely beautiful!! It had laminate floors, a beautiful kitchen, and these fancy shmancy European sinks. The second one was larger, not as fancy, but had a great backyard, island, new carpets, ceramic tile floors, and 2 pantries!! :)

Both homes were found pretty early in the day but Rene really wanted to look at all the houses to ensure there was nothing better. When we got back to our realtor's office we discovered both homes we liked had offers on them so our realtor suggested we put in a double offer... and that's what we did. We were so worried that we were going to get out bid, again. So this is how great our realtor is, he only gave the sellers 2hrs to respond!!!! Isn't that great?!! Within the hour, both sellers had accepted our bids (only 10 mins apart) and we were in quite the predicament. We were going back and forth on the homes and even after we selected one, we sat there pondering if it was the right choice.

So which one did we choose???? The second one!! Did you catch that??!! We chose the larger of the two with the fabulous backyard, 2 pantries and island. :) Here are some pics...

The outside of the house, and our car :)

The emance, beautiful kitchen (counter tops to be replaced by seller)

The formal living room with fireplace

Upstairs, there's a huge open loft... perfect for playing :)

Master bath has a garden tub, soon to be Whirlpool tub, and seperate shower

The backyard, half of it... We have the lake on one side and the woods on the other. It's gorgeous!!
