Monday morning I made a dozen phone calls trying to figure out the move in dates and stipulations on houses in Charleston. Out of 10 houses, only two were move in ready and pet friendly. Great. I did not have much to work with. They original town house I was leaning towards was move in ready by Saturday. The owner was buying a house and would close on Thursday. Meaning he would move out on Thursday, have the house cleaned and ready for us by Saturday. Perfect! The other property was in the area that we wanted. A three bedroom, two and a half bathroom town house with a fenced back yard. My only concern was the outside of the house did not look that great. After sending my sister to check it out, my opinion completely changed and I began to lean more towards the three bedroom house.
I received a few emails and phone calls last night that made my decision which place I was going to go for. The man trying to buy a house found out he could not close until next week. Therefore, it was not going to work out. I called the real estate agent for the three bedroom house, filled out an application, and sent it back to her. Today I mailed off the checks for the deposit and first month of rent and she is mailing me the lease! I am patting myself on the back for a job well done for securing a place to live for the next two years of our lives!
Now for pictures.
The front of the house. You can see why I was skeptical at first. The front patio is fenced in.
The kitchen that has 100% more counter space than my house now. I can't wait to have the WHOLE fridge to my self! (Well us)
The Family room. We are getting two leather couches from Adam's grandmother. And I can just imagine how I am going to arrange them!
The dining area. I cannot wait to repaint my table and set everything up!
The upstairs has three bedrooms. And you bet you can expect more pictures as soon as I set everything up! Check back for a post post-move! :)
love this house! it looks even better in person!!
