.....to the countryside! We just got a contract on a house!!!!!! Assuming the inspections go well and we have no other unexpected problems, we close on January 14. The house is in Dalzell, SC. That would be hickville country!!
The house itself is all right. It need a lot of work, especially a new kitchen and bathrooms. It is an all brick house built in 1973 (a fabulous year if I do say so myself) and has not had anything done to it since then. So needless to say the kitchen and baths are very dated. We plan to gut the kitchen and redo that before we move in, along with finishing the hardwood floors, paint... The rest can wait and be done slowly. Should be interesting....getting all this done with 3 little kiddos! We'll be needing Oma and Opa a lot!!
Why did we pick this house if it isn't great.....because the house (also had a pump house which we plan to fix up and rent out) is on over 20 acres!! And with two ponds to boot!! The land is great and some day we'd like to build our dream house by the ponds. The boys are going to love it....just imagine all the running, hiding, climbing, skinned knees, blood.... I forsee some wild mountain biking too (Jack just recently perfected riding his bike with training wheels and already likes going down dirt hills)!!
So wish us luck, we're going to be extremely busy. And of course we hope to sell our house soon!!
