My House Search So far (Part 1)

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that I was blessed to possibly have two Realtors to choose from. I ended up choosing the realtor that my best friend recommended. We'll refer to him as "L." We spoke on the phone a few times and decided that we would go look at houses over the Labor Day weekend. I thought those plans would have been sidetracked, however, since I found out a few days later that my dada had died. However, I had a few days before I actually made the long drive from GA to VA (to pick up my mom) and then to NY, so I decided to still go look at houses.

A few days before I went to go physically look at houses, I saw a listing for a home on Realtor.com. The listing agent posted no pictures. So, I decided (as always) to drive past the house to see if it was easily accessible from my job.This house is about 4 miles away from me, in the same city and in a subdivision that looked really nice. The house looked really nice (from what I could tell), so I decided to make sure and look at physically look at the house with “L”.

I had a feeling (just from driving past on my own) that I was going to love the house, but I didn't want to affect any feelings I may have had on other houses that I looked at. So, I made sure that “L” and I went to look at that home last. I'm so glad that we did.

The house is BEAUTIFUL. It has a 3 car garage, sits on about an acre of land and has a full, finished basement which has a full bathroom and a kitchen. It also has a formal living room, formal dining room, family room, large kitchen with island and built in desk, a huge deck off the breakfast/kitchen area, 4 bedrooms on the second floor, a HUGE master suite with two walk in closets and 2 1/2 bathrooms.

Long story short: It is a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath house with a full basement and has (with the basement) close to (or over) 4,000 square feet! Oh....did I mention the backyard goes directly to a lake????!!!

Needless to say I am in love!!! But.....

...there have been a few snags on the way. To make sure that this post doesn't get too long, I will post the second part of this in another post.

Stay tuned
