Yes, we are in negotiations for another house! I have a really good feeling about this one. We saw it about two hours after it came on the market and offered on it that night, I wrote a letter to the sellers explaining why we loved the house and why we should be the ones to live there, and the sellers accepted our offer the next day even though they had other interested parties! The sellers are a nice couple in their late 40s who obviously care about the home and have taken very good care of it. The house is a mid-century modern (1960) in the South Beacon Hill neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac. It's just about 5 miles from downtown, which is a bit farther than we wanted to go, but still bikeable and within walking distance of the Light Rail station, a Safeway, and the elementary school. The lot is large and level, and the sellers have done a great job with their garden. All it needs now is a chicken coop and a beehive! I usually hate split-level houses, but Mr. Mac convinced me that this house had the mid-mod charm to pull it off, and it does! The upstairs is one large room with living, dining, and kitchen areas...perfect for us because we love to cook and entertain. There are three bedrooms upstairs as well as one full bath with a jack-and-jill sink. Downstairs is the family room with a second fireplace, the garage, another bedroom, a quarter bath which we will quickly transform into a half bath, and a large partially finished game room/utility room. It's just about 2000 square feet, which is over twice the space we have now....looks like we'll need to get some more furniture!
The inspection is Tuesday, so hopefully everything will go smoothly! The next step is completing our loan application and getting the VA appraisal. Wish us luck!
