So I told y'all about our dream house being possibly available to rent, right? Well, Christi, my realtor friend, sent me pictures of another place that's for sale right now. No renting and no owner financing available, but if we can come up with a down payment, then we should be able to swing the monthly payments easily.
It's a three bedroom, two bath house on 4 acres. Well, they say it's 4 acres - it quite honestly looks more like 6 to me. It has a pasture directly down from the house (it's set on a gentle incline) with two barns on it, and it's just the right size to fence off and turn half into an arena.
Off to the left of the house there's a huge pasture with a stock tank - probably three or four acres just right there. (The pasture, not the stock tank. )
Anyway, the house is adorable - the living room is huge and has these really charming built in shelves and gas fireplace. The kitchen has two ovens and a DISHWASHER!!!!! ;D It has a laundry room/pug room right off the kitchen, and down the hall there are two bathrooms (side by side - kinda funny arrangement) and then the three bedrooms. Oodles and gobs of closet space, a linen closet, etc.
It's absolutely adorable!! AND, it's a whopping 6 minutes from Erich's job! AND, it's actually affordable, as opposed to the dream house I told y'all about. They're asking $99,900 for that one - 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 7 acres. This one is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 5-6 acres, and they're asking $69,000.
We are just really praying that no one else buys it before we can come up with the down payment. I'm going to try to sell Summer and we'll probably use that money as part of it, and we're hoping that our tax refund this year will help as well.
I know that if this house doesn't work out, there are others, and God has the perfect place in mind for us. But this is the first one so far that's fit ALL our criteria - three bedrooms, land for my horse, a huge barn that Erich can have for a workshop, room for an arena, a fenced yard for the girls and dogs, etc. Not to mention the price is right! ;D
So, prayers please. If it's meant to be, it will happen - but I really need to have faith that if it IS meant to be, that we'll get it in due time.
I'll post pictures if y'all are interested - I have oodles.
