Finally... a place to call home

Now the blog so far has been a little bit revisionist... you see, before we even left California, we saw a house on the internet that we thought looked great. It was, in fact, the first house we saw on the day we arrived. We liked it. It became the house against which the other homes would be measured... and all of them fell short in some way.

This is a rather terrible picture of it:

This house is perfect for us...

It's big (2700 square feet) but not too big. The house sits on a pie-slice shaped lot on a cul-de-sac. This means the front yard is small and the back yard is big (perfect for a pool!).

Inside, it has well proportioned rooms including a proper dining room with a door into the kitchen to make life easy. It has some nice upgrades including maple cabinets, all Whirlpool stainless appliances (except for washer and dryer), nice tile work in the kitchen and breakfast area...

On top of all that, the house is half a mile from the aquatic park, the formal park with the amphitheatre and George Mitchell park, the largest park in Woodlands.

To cut a long story short, after looking at other houses for comparison, we knew this one was for us. We put it an offer and got it accepted within the hour. WOO-HOO!

More pics when we move in....
