Nate and I went a little crazy and bought a town house! As first time home buyers, this is a very exciting and nerve racking experience for us. We decided it would be a fun time to start a blog so we can document and share our experiences as we build a life together :)
We found a town house that has everything we would really like to have, including a little backyard and privacy - both rare items to find in the metro DC area! With 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (2 half, 2 full) we have plenty room for visitors (hint, hint). We are nestled in a community which includes a pool, tennis courts, running trails, etc. It is in Springfield, VA with a rush hour shuttle to the metro for Nate to easily get to work (or the metro is only 0.6 miles if we need to walk) and is only about a 15 minute drive to my office.
We feel very blessed to have found a home that is also in great condition and move-in ready. Our home inspection went very well with only minor items needing repair before we move-in. Now we are tackling the lovely lender's "to-do" list and have secured a closing date of August 17, 2011.
Knowing that date will soon be upon us we have decided to force ourselves out of the shock phase of the purchase and instead focus on the move. Pending the closing on the 17th, we have chosen that next Saturday, August 20, 2011 as our moving date. With the help of some fabulous friends volunteering to help us out, we should be officially in our house by the end of the 20th!
We're so excited and can't wait!
