I bought a house!

Griff found the house on the internet and sent me the link.  So I drove by it and liked the outside.  I checked it out on the internet again and saw that it was scheduled for an open house that week.  So, I went to the open house on Thursday.  On Friday morning I made an offer.  It took all day Friday to come to an agreement but by the end of the day I had an agreement to buy a house!!

Griff is excited because he found it and there is NOTHING that needs to be done before or after we move in except decorate.  Unlike our current house that I found and needed lots of work. 

The view from the driveway.
I love this house, it is over 150 years old.  Lots of character.  It is 4 bedroom so there is room for a guest bedroom, an office for Griff and a craft room for me!  I am so excited!  See all the pictures below. 

The fireplace in the formal living room. 
I foresee many hours on this porch reading and drinking coffee.
Formal Living room.  The floors are the original hardwood restored and beautiful!
This is the dining room and the outside door goes to the porch pictured above.
The kitchen has granite tile countertops, custom built oak cabinets, all new stainless steel appliances, tile floor, and one exposed brick wall.

  1. Awesome! I am wondering if I should change the thanksgiving plans and come to Ohio? Wonder what the weather would be like?

  2. The weather would be better in November than in January. And of course you should change your plans...I offer many more opportunities for fun!
