I made an offer on a house today. I saw it yesterday and liked it a lot. It is about 1600 sf. It is a little larger than I planned but it has a nice lay out.

It is three beds-two baths-two car garage. You enter into a formal living/dining room type situation and directly behind that is the kitchen. There is a small room off the kitchen with a fireplace that some homeowners have made into a dining room but I want to make it a small family-tv room. There is an eat in kitchen area small but workable.

The master bed room actually has a sitting area as part of the room. I will set up my treadmill and tv area there. Also it can hold my desk and filing cabinet.

One room is nice sized and I think I will be renting it out. The other room is a good size but it has French doors that open off the little family room area. I think it would be difficult to rent it out but may try to find someone. I would also be open to one renter renting both of those rooms a bed room and an office.

In this area you can charge more for access to park in the garage and I am considering that but not sure yet. There is a laundry room pass through to the garage.

The yard is nice sized but not huge. There is a small grassy area but it is not huge. There are two areas of patios. right off the kitchen and master bedroom. There is a nice area for a spice-herb garden right off the kitchen.

I like that the master bedroom has such a nice sized sitting area. I can hang out in the room working or watching tv and not impacting a renter or being impacted by a renter.

I need to buy a refrigerator, washer and dryer and I think a microwave. I can't remember if there is one. We asked for them to leave the gas stove.

I would love to rip out the carpet and put in wood flooring and tile instead of linoleum in the kitchen and baths and laundry room. I will tackle small projects as I have the money saved and will not add any extra debt.

All it really needs is to have the (newer) carpet cleaned and a whole house cleaning and then I could move in.

We made our offer the strongest we could but also know there are several other offers coming in tomorrow. I won't go into a bidding war-if I don't get it so be it. There will be another house down the road.

Oh my. What will the next couple of days hold?
