How many parts will there be I wonder?? Maybe I'll this into a little contest -- how many times do you think I will go out with a realtor before finding "the house" that we both agree on and move into?? I hope this 3rd time was a charm and it all works out because I AM SICK OF IT! I know I know... be patient... don't rush this... I'M NOT RUSHING IT but I am so tired of it already:( Now onto the next 5 1/2 hour day I spent exploring 10 houses!
The first house on our list was actual up north, on the same street we live on but just down about a mile in a cute neighborhood. It's about 10-13 years old (the neighborhood) so it is still new but the trees are developed more and it is established. I also know my way around the north so I'm more comfortable with it but we aren't sure we want to stay up here. Although it is a great area and Round Rock is becoming a popular area to move to and commute from, we aren't sure it is for us. After seeing this house though my decision may have been swayed:) It is gorgeous. It has a loft on the 2nd floor looking down, a beautiful lay out, love the master bedroom, laundry room upstairs, kitchen and living room combined and the island is made out of layered stone, outside patio has a ceiling fan, and ALL appliances convey!! WHOO HOO!
We then moved onto 2 more houses, one which was sold (the sellers realtor updated the listing with a lower price but ACTUALLY showed the price it was sold for and didn't take it off of the market... moron!) and one that was so odd and confusing we spent a little bit of time in it just trying to figure out who would ever live in such an odd house.
Like I said we visited 10 houses, and of those 10 I liked 3 of them. Pretty good I guess... 30%. Eh.... patience:)
So I liked the one up north, another house that had a cute back yard and a nice layout - very open and interesting. Just the master suite was upstairs and everything else was downstairs. The last house I liked was awesome - no other way to describe it. It was an entertainers dream with a ton of upgrades already in it. The inside was nice, cute, and cozy. Smaller than the others that we had been looking at it but really ... why do we need a huge house?? The bathrooms were upgraded with stone showers and granite counter tops, but it was the backyard that was a selling point for me and a point that I know Derrick will love! It had a limestone patio with a full wood roof covering. It had 3 ceiling fans, awesome lights, huge floor heaters, a POOL TABLE, awesome wicker round chairs, a built in bar, and... BRICK OVEN!! This outside was like being on vacation! Now of course most of this stuff will not stay but boy did it win me over!
So Derrick is going to go see these 3 houses sometime this week (prob Tues or Wed) and we shall see what else we find out from the sellers and the surrounding areas. Fingers crossed!
