Home Sweet Home?

We’ve been searching for a home for the past 4 months, and I think we finally found one yesterday that beats all the rest. It’s a cute white cottage home built in 1947, about 2020 square feet. It has newly refinished hardwood floors throughout the entire main floor, except for the awesome slate tile in the kitchen. :) The kitchen is large with dark hardwood cabinets and lots of counterspace. There’s a formal dining area next to the kitchen, and the formal livingroom has a gas fireplace. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, and I down. The downstairs needs a bit of refinishing, but there’s a large family room that just needs carpet and a huge laundry area that could easily be divided into another bedroom or office. There’s a half bath downstairs as well. Outside, there’s a huge yard, about .22 acres, although it feels bigger, and a 2 car garage. The roof looks really cool, it has a great pitch to it, and covered in wavy tile. It’s pretty cool looking, plus it should last a long time. And perhaps the best feature of all is that it is in Murray! Right at about 4800 South and 200 East. It’s on a quiet residential street with other cute, well-maintained homes. We are concerned about a couple things, one being it’s an older home, so electrical wiring and water pipes could go at anytime. We already know the furnace is old, so we are planning to have to replace that at some point. Also, it’s priced right about at our spending limit, so payments would be tight these first few months before Ben graduates. It’s managable though.
So, we’re getting pre-qualified and making an offer today!!!
Making a real offer huh? Wow!
