Today we braved the weather to go out and see more houses. We decided to look at the Edgewood house again, a house that our relator wanted us to see (now $15,000 less than when we started our house hunt), and a third house we'd found just perusing listings in Anderson.

We started at a 2 story, 4 bedroom home that'd we'd seen back in December. It's empty now and easier to like without the weird furniture and decor that was there before. It is a huge house with lots of wallpaper, funky paint colors, lots of closets, and an outdated kitchen. I guess it we had to live there we could make it work but we aren't really interested in making it work.

Then we down the street and to the left a few blocks to the house we'd found while looking online. This was a 1 story brick ranch. For those of you who know us well, you know that is not the kind of house we were looking for! But... as Kyle says, it's a "modern" ranch. :) Anyway, from the minute we walked in, I really liked it and I could tell Kyle liked it, too. There's a big great room open to the kitchen and dining room. The three bedrooms all have walk in closets, not a necessity but a nice touch. The attached garage is big and clean, and the only thing I'd really change is the color in the kitchen (though Kyle likes the "southwest" feel...). Check it out at the link below!

Virtual tour

From there we headed out to Edgewood, the house I blogged about last time, in a much more excited way than I am now. It was... old. Charming yes, but old. We still like the house but the basement wasn't like we remembered, the breezeway that I'd dreamed into a mudroom needs a lot of work, and the garage is unwelcoming and small. Funny how your perspective changes!

So, the latest davy doing on the house hunt front, is leaning toward a neighborhood and house style we thought we didn't like... and so, the journey continues. No offer yet, but we'll keep you posted!

In the meantime, if anyone has any influence on the weather and they'd like to bring out the sunshine and 40 degree weather, do what you can, please! Hopefully our house hunt in the snow today will have been worth it but I'm ready for spring.
