It's Official!

It's official ... we got a house! Finally! I had previously posted about some homes we were considering. We had put in an offer on that "fixer upper" and after countering back and forth, it just didn't work out. Keith assured me there was something out there for us, something better. Boy was he right! Last Saturday evening we looked at this house. We were there for the entire one hour showing and at the end, we knew it was the one. We put a strong offer in that night and found out Monday night we got it! That was the most nerve racking 48 hours of my life! But worth every second of stress because we got our dream 1st house! I was still nervous throughout this week with just a verbal acceptance of the offer. We signed some paperwork last night to make it official! Yay!

We were originally looking for an older home in an established neighborhood, closer to the historic part of Grove City. With all of our searching we had strayed from that at some point, but low and behold when it came down to it, that's exactly what we got. It's Keith and my favorite old neighborhood, one block from town. We can walk to local shops and restaurants, a playground, and much more. It's a peaceful neighborhood. We are on a dead end street. The house was built in 1953, a stone ranch with surprisingly large rooms, hardwood floors throughout, except ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath. It also has a huge finished basement for extra living space. We are so excited that all our searching finally paid off. We will be moving at the beginning of March and we can't wait to be in our new home!

Drum roll please ... here it is!
