Unofficial House Hunting

We are truly fortunate to have a realtor, my stepdad Tom in our family. Whenever we see a house that we like he sets up an appointment and we get to look at it. We aren't really looking to move, but there is always that possibility. We "like" our house and we have sunk so much time, energy, and love into updating it and painting each and every room. It would be sad if we did find the right house and move, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. So back to my story, we took a drive on Sunday looking at houses like we often do, unfortunately if there were any for sale we couldn't see the signs because the snow here is about 2 feet high. Anyways, we did come across a house for sale that is only 2 blocks from our current house, but much nicer. So I called Tom to see if he could set up an appointment. We went to look at it last night and feel in love. It has many of the things that we would truly love in a house. It has the most amazing kitchen, large family room with a bar, huge 2 story garage, and a pool. Those are the positive aspects. Unfortunately, the negative plus the price outweigh the positive in our eyes at this point. The bedrooms are tiny, it only has one bathroom, and there is no diningroom. Also, the taxes are double what we pay right now. It was so fun to go and look at it though and we will keep our eyes open for others gems to look at. For now we will stay put.My healthy man!
