New House...Almost

We are in the process of buying a house. It took us a while to find one but finally we did. It is about 5 blocks out of the French Quarter in the Marigny which is where we used to live before we moved to this apartment. It is in a really good area. There is a coffee shop on our block and we are about a block from a beautiful old cathedral. Three blocks from a little grocery store and restaurant as well as a tapas bar and another coffee shop and a laudrymat but that doesn't matter any more because we have our own washer and drier now. Or at least we will. It is a duplex which means we can use it as an investment and the rent will help pay our rent and Scott will have more flexability in his job so he is not traveling any more. It is a corner lot with parking and a yard that has a couple rose bushes and a chili pepper vine. We are getting the inspection on Thursday and hopefully will close by the end of the month. This one little picture doesn't do it justice at all. It has been renovated in the last couple years with new roof and new cabinets in the kitchen. It has hard wood floors everywhere except tile in the bathroom and kitchen. It is a shotgun style with the Kitchen off in an L shape. I am excited, I hope everything works out with the inspection and this is the one.

We are the Taylors said...

I am so happy for you guys!! You will LOVE having a yard when Chance gets to running around in a couple of months. Also you will love having your own space and not having to worry about noisy neighbors who share your walls. After having our own house for 4 years I don't know if I would ever be able to move back into an apartment. Congratulations!! I guess we will have to come back up and see your new place when you are all situated.
