While on our house hunting search, it was interesting what was on our checklist. It was pretty vast. (We were dreaming, but you have to start somewhere!)
We wanted a view (we realized we wouldn’t have ocean, but wanted something besides a house right behind us), a community with some young families, a three car garage, a large kitchen/family room open concept living space, a downstairs guest room/office, and a yard of some sort…we searched for two years and kept coming up short. We saw hundreds of homes, it became our weekend activity, go see another neighborhood, test out the park and local dining.
Our timeline got a bit more serious when I was 7 months pregnant with our second child and we were running out of room in our two bedroom “beach shack”. We sacrificed on the three car garage and view, but we love our yard, open concept family room/kitchen and downstairs office. We definitely did not get everything on the list, but take a look around, we hope you enjoy. These are our “before pictures” for all intents and purposes. Check back for more info on what we have an plan to change in the future.
