The house search saga continues

So today we went and looked at another house. This one had a small amount of land more and then the house had some features we were really excited about as well. One of them was a BRAND NEW corn furnace and duct work. Plus there was an addition that housed 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. So at 9:30 this am we went to look at it. This was a very cute and homey house. I loved the way the kitchen was and the fact that it had a very nice open floor plan. Add to that the fact that it was listed at a 4 bedroom when in fact it was more of a 5 bedroom 2 bath house. All of us could have had a bedroom with ease and all on the first floor, a huge plus for me. However, the location was a turn off for us and the buildings outside were not nearly as nice as the first place that we looked at. Add to that the fact that to get into the basement you had to enter from outside and there really was not much space left after after they put in the 2 furnaces and the water heater.
So from there we returned the first house we had looked at to have a better look at the basement and just walk through again. The house by Nevada is one that I really do love. No the kitchen is not perfect, nor is it a huge kitchen as I have always wanted but this house has so much character that I have to look past this. There is plenty of room in the house, the porches are wonderful and we love the location. It is less than 15 minutes for Shane to be to work and it is in our ideal school district for the kids. Those are huge selling points for us. Add to that the buildings are in much better shape, plus you don't have to leave the house to get to the basement.
So tomorrow I am going to give a call to the mortgage broker and try to get that ball rolling and we are going to talk to the realtor and offer them 120,000 with the contingencies of financing and an inspection. We also want to put a rider on there that the yellow garden shed must stay with the house. I want it for a playhouse for the kids to have. So that is where we currently stand on the house sage. It won't be too long before we know more and I will update then.
