They accepted our offer!

After house hunting for about six months, we first saw this house about a month ago. A week after walking through it for the first time, we brought our parents back to get their opinions. And last week, we finally decided to make an offer. Based on the seller’s initial feedback, it seemed like we weren’t likely to reach a mutual agreement on the value of the property and the terms of the sale, but after several rounds of negotiation, our offer was accepted Tuesday evening! Pending the results of the whole house inspection (scheduled for next Monday), we’ll be set to close at the end of October!

Our future home was built in 1915 and sits on a nearly 4 acre lot in the middle of a normal residential neighborhood. It has a 2 car detached garage and a separate building currently used as a tool shed (though it resembles a chicken house). The property also includes an in-ground swimming pool (we aren’t sure yet if this will be a positive or a negative). The current owners have lived in the house for around 20 years and have updated most of the interior during that time. It looks like most of the work was probably done sometime in the late ’80s or early ’90s, judging by the colors and decorating styles. The house is certainly in move-in condition, but we have lots of ideas for improvements and updates to the interior as well as to the exterior of the home and surrounding property.

Here’s a couple pictures of the exterior of the home:
