Househunting is So Over

Our loan has officially been approved. Inspection and appraisal papers have been signed. We are set to become first-time homeowners and Maplewood residents by the new year!

Our official closing date is December 30th. Looks like we'll be ringing in 2012 by unpacking boxes and settling into our cute new house. That, and painting walls, filling nail and screw holes, and scrubbing the oven as we move out of our old apartment.

To tide us over, here are a few photos of the new house from a real estate posting ...

Cute as a postage stamp! Bigger than it looks. We are thinking about building a front porch, putting in some window planters, and maybe adding a fence. Living room window is on the left, guest room window on the right. Upstairs window is the nursery. Lot to the right side is empty, and just to the left is our driveway, where we hope to build a carport of garage.




Living room. For now, we'll leave the wall paint colors. I'm just so happy it's not all sterile white or some gaudy wallpaper!


Kitchen view. Area to the left seems just about right for a small desk space or cookbooks.


Dining area. Not a formal dining room. View from the kitchen. Raised deck out the left side doors. Area on the right could be nice for a built-in kitchenette or something.


This will be the nursery! That's where I can't wait to nest ...


Master bedroom. Bigger than it appears. Needs some TLC in terms of sprucing it up and making it a mommy-and-daddy haven. Full bath to right of photo.


Deck, off dining area/kitchen. Needs some safety features put in place.


Nice and roomy backyard. Gizzy will love it!



Photos were taken from this real estate posting. It now says "sale pending."
