In my previous post I explained that we were diligently looking for houses March, April and May. By May we were beginning to worry we'd never find anything. A perfectly sized raised ranch underwhelmed us in March but underwent two price drops by May and I knew we needed to revisit it. This time, the renters had left and the owners put a coat of white paint throughout. Finally the potential shone through. This was the perfect condo alternative for my partner and me. We fell in love with the skylights and vaulted ceilings. We also appreciated the 1995 build date as the house was built to more modern code and we didn't have to worry about hidden dangers such as lead paint or asbestos.
A fresh coat of paint and the removal of renters furnishings really brought out the potential for us. We could see a palette for our minimalistic contemporary style.
We had a vision and we made an offer!
