We closed on the house today!
It's very cool and exciting (Eg-citing, get it? From our last name? Never mind) and a lot to look forward to.
We don't move in until late July because we gave the sellers 21 days occupancy to close on their new house and move out. Yep, we are landlords and homeowners all at once.
The details:
- 1863 farmhouse in Oak Creek, WI. --It's actually the best of both worlds here because it's old with a lot of character, but it's been nicely updated for us.
- 4 bedrooms. --Two of which are TINY.
- 1 bath -- We will probably add one sooner or later.
- Great backyard-- adorable shed, deep lot, semi-private. Skamp can run but there's not too much grass to maintain. No garage, which may turn out to be torture in a Wisconsin winter, but we may add one sooner or later.
- Full basement that is completely unfinishable. Field stone, short ceilings, tornado doors...
I started this blog to keep our family and friends (many if not most of whom live super far away) up to date without having to flood Facebook with picture after picture and story after story as we go along. This should be quite an adventure as a couple of kids in our twenties learn how own a super old house.
Wish us luck!
