Last night we put in our first offer on our next home, maybe.
Here it is...
We were in a even race between this one and another one. Chris really liked the other one because it featured a 4 car garage, nice kitchen appliances and huge black island, finished basement, and it had a HUGE corner lot in the neighborhood he preferred. With that said, I really liked this home (even though it did not have the OH LA LA factor we were looking for on the home front - we can change that somewhat) bc it featured higher quality throughout the home including double ovens in the kitchen, a drop zone, granite through the house in the 4 bathrooms - including a jack in jill bath between the girls rooms and a bath in Ashers room with a shower and a huge master bath with double shower heads and tile all over. There was no expensed barred here. The backyard, although smaller than the corner lot, backed to a private forest in which we would own part of. We could clear it out a bit to put in a firepit, install the swingset, and really make it look cool. It also had the walk out basement with deck that we initially set out to get, too, but the basement was not finished. This was a huge problem for Chris. I agree...it will be a HUGE pain to finish. However, we will finish it asap making this home 4000 finished sq feet (vs 3500 in the other home). It will not be as big of a pain to finish because it is a walk out and I will insist that the workers come through the basement.
With all of this said, they may not accept our offer. The home is owned by the listing real estate agent. She was an invester with the builder of this home who went bankrupt. So, she bought the home, finishing it up. She is quite personally invested in the home and probably will not take our offer - and we know that. I just thought I would be upset if we did not try because this home had everything, more of less, that we set out looking for. I could check everything off the list but a 4 car garage and finished basement. Can not make it into a 4 car garage but can finish the basement.
We will see. She has until noon!
