My New House

YAY!  We finally found a home that fit most of our criteria and made an offer.  The owner came back with a counter offer, we countered that, and then accepted the 2nd counter offer from the seller.

It's a 2 master bedroom duplex with an open kitchen/dining/living room on the main floor and a double detached garage in the back.  My brother (along with some help) will be building a bedroom & bathroom in the basement - as well as the storage/furnace/laundry room and a small tv room.

It's in the South Terwillegar area of Edmonton.  The bus stop is in sight of the front door (just down the block a little).  The huge rec centre is close by as well as parks and green spaces. 

Possession date is July 18 (as along as everything goes well with the house inspection) but looks like we might have to wait a few weeks to move in all the big stuff as my one brother is in New Brunswick with his girlfriend from July 19 - 28.  We will have to sit down and figure things out.

I can't wait to start planning decor and paint colours and furniture arrangement.

  2. Congrats on your beautiful new home! (Although I admit I'm a little choked that you'll no longer be in the west end.....)

  4. Finding a house that checks out all of your listed preference is a hard job. You're very lucky to have found the perfect home for you. I have to agree, the house you found is really perfect. The lounge area looks amazing, though I know you've designed it a lot better now that you've settled in it. All the best to you! :)
