Yep, that’s right, we are buying a house!!!  Last week we placed a bid on a house in Broadview Heights, and our offer was countered, and we accepted!!!  On Thursday, October 23, tomorrow, we are doing the inspection.  There are 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.  The house has 2.2 acres (85×1140) (check out the map the property ends where the peg is)and is mostly wooded.  We have a ravine running through our property.  The house has a new 2 1/2 detached garage, a shed, and came with a riding mower, woohoo!  It is a cape cod style with brand new windows, hard wood floors in the family room and living room with a built in bookshelf ( both have wood burning stove/fireplace with stove insert).  They just put in new windows and updated the kitchen to include new a built in bookshelf, countertops, cabinets, and plumbing.  The carpet is brand new.  There is an additional room in the basement with pergo flooring with two closets that could be used as an office or an additional bedroom.  The house comes with all appliances, a chest freezer, and a dryer.  We love that there are so many closets and so much storage.  It has radiator heating and does not have central air.  However, from talking to the neighbors, we won’t need it.  We will need to purchase a washer.  So, if you know of any super cheap, let us know!!!  God is so good!  Who would have thought!!!  The best thing is that Chloe won’t have to change schools!!!

    So, the inspection went really well! The only thing we have to have thoroughly inspected is the boiler. It is REALLY old!!! It looked kinda like the oven from Hansel and Gretel’s… But, the inspector said that it will keep everyone nice and toasty!!! Looks like we are having Thanksgiving in the new house =)!
