We have looked in countless neighborhoods in Louisville, without any luck. We honestly were getting a little discouraged. Friday we went out with our realtor Sherrye to look at 4 houses, it was raining...it always was raining when we went to look at houses! The first 3 homes were just not for us, it was either the area or the amount of work it needed. After the 3rd house Luke and I expressed how discouraged we were, and Sherrye said to us " we are going to walk in to a house and you are gonna be like 'THIS IS IT!' dont worry guys we will find it!"
Sherrye was hesitant to show us the last house, she expressed to us she thought it was going to be a dump because of the price of the home wasnt consistant with the neighborhood it was in-her aunt lives across the street. Luke and I followed her over to the house and as we were driving I was overwhelmed with the neighborhood! I didnt know neighborhoods like this existed in Louisville! And I certainly didnt know we could afford to live in one! So when we pulled up I got out the car and shouted "I'm ready to make an offer!!" Only half heartedly kidding!
We went inside and it was as perfect as it could be, the nicest home in the nicest area we had seen YET! We told Sherrye we were seriously interested. She said 'go home talk about it and call me back.' So Luke and I went to dinner and we decided after talking that we wanted to go back and see it again, so we called Sherrye, set it up and went back Saturday Morning. We walked through again, thouroughly! and after lots of discusssion we made an offer...it is now OUR HOUSE!!!
Big ole Tree in front WILL be decorated for Christmas!
This is the back of the house, other than the HUGE yard barn, it has a small deck and patio.
Full privacy fenced yard
Our yard barn!--Lots of storage!
You enter the living room when you first come in.
Another view of the living room.
Our HUGE eat in Kitchen! Complete with a New Range!!!
The Master bedroom with His and Hers closets!
Bedroom #2--Luke's Man Cave/Guest room/future childs room(many years from now)
Bedroom #3--This will be my office
Jack and Jill Bathroom, you can access it from the hall or the master bedroom, it even has a pocket door!
Over all it does need some updating, which were ok with doing. Right away there is some wallpaper and border that needs to come down, but everything else is completely doable and liveable. And I actually really love those yellow countertops-they are just so retro! they will stay for awhile :) Luke calls it our 'Diamond in the rough' and honestly it is just that. Its a home in a FANTATIC neighborhood, that needs a little paint and some updating. Once our furniture is in, and those small things are done this house will shine!
