The House on E

We ended up making an offer on a house in Prescott again. This one is a short-sale and has been approved by the owners, but now we must begin waiting on the bank. I realize this will take a long time, so I'm not going to allow myself to get to anxious this time around.

breezeway = more square footage? 

The house on E is too small for us as is (1900 square feet), but it has a breezeway between the house and garage which will be perfect for adding some rooms. We will be able to add about 600 square feet to the house, making it a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, plus "play room". The offer we've made is low enough that we can easily add the extra rooms without going over budget (and we'll get a big return for the extra square footage!).

Great room - ignore the hideous decor!

I didn't even realize until reviewing the pictures later how absolutely horrible the place is decorated. I must have finally hit a point where I look at the layout of the rooms and potential rather than furnishings and paint colors. Without this skill, believe me, we would have passed on this house.

Huge Garage!

One great thing about the house is the garage, which could easily fit 4 cars. Since we only have 1 car, I'm not sure what we'll do with all the extra space - probably give my husband the workshop he's always dreamed of!

Of course, we'll continue to look while the bank sits on this...they may come back with a counter-offer that is just too much. And I have to admit, I liked the house on D much better. While this house "will do", it isn't anywhere near my style (although it does have potential). So we're keeping our options open.
