We have a properly executed contract on our current house. Yay! Settlement on 28 October, circumstances permitting.
We tendered an offer on another property last night. We await the seller's acceptance.
The prospetive new house is only a two bedroom house, but there is a detached two car garage with an apartment above. Daniel has called dibs on the apartment, and we're playing along. The garage will be my workshop. It has separate utility drops from the house. There is also a substantial shed (large enough to be a one car garage) that will hold a bunch of stuff. The garage apartment has a large deck beneath which is pavement well suited for stashing our trailer. The driveway will hold something like ten or twelve cars at once.
We anticipate an orgy of carpet removal right away as we get the bedrooms worked over. Electrical heavy-up is clearly indicated. The breaker box does not have a main cutoff. It's almost certainly a 60 amp service, 1950s original equipment. I don't yet know what is under the carpets. It may be hardwood; it not then it will become hardwood.
The kitchen is roughly comparable to what we have now minus the island. The appliances are up-to-date and the plan is open. The kitchen flows right into a dining area and then into a large room on the back that opens out on the patio on two sides. The front room has a real fireplace. It has windows on the driveway end that are a bit odd. They go floor-to-ceiling as if the opening had sliding doors once.
We'll need to get the fence completed (meaning a gated driveway) so we can turn Chocolate loose in the back yard.
The new house is in Lanham, at 9219 Greenwood Lane. It's just off 450. The lot is .40 acres -- somewhat larger than we have currently, so I'll have more lawn to mow. I think it's got useful potential, and we see some ways to enlarge the house a bit.
We're going over on Tuesday to examine more closely, take pictures, and measure the crap out of it.
