We had no idea there was a brick planter around the trees when we closed in November.

Made an Offer


We made an offer on a home yesterday.  It needs some updating and while the previous home owner’s decorating style is best described as “grandma-ish,”   it is a larger home than we were initially looking for and is located in an older and established neighborhood.  We’ll be signing the counter offer this afternoon and pending the home inspection, we should close early November.

Front

Anyone know what’s growing out of the sidewalk?

Front Porch

We love the windows – not sure about the “lattice work.”

Fireplace

It’s a dark photo, but here is the gas fireplace.

Living Room - Built-Ins

Built-In in the Living Room/Family Room.  Probably has to go…

Kitchen - Formal Living/Dining in back

Kitchen photo taken from where the breakfast “nook” will probably be.

Backyard - Pecan Tree

The Pecan Tree.  After some pruning and clean up work, the back yard should be great.

Back Yard - Live Oak and Pecan in BackYikes! Would love to get rid of that and plant some grass.  We think that is a live oak tree in front.  The Pecan is behind.
