Our excitement had all but withered as we drove to a house my parents had found in their neighborhood. It's within our budget and a short sale. We decide to look just for the heck of it.
The two story colonial has a nice long driveway, large front yard and nice front porch. We walk up to the beautifully decorated door and the seller lets us in. The second that I stepped in the house I got this warm sense of calm, almost as if my heart was saying "I'm home now". You step into the house and there is a living room to the right, a dining room to the left, and stairs that led to the upper floor. After you walk through either the dining room or the living room you reached the kitchen.
The kitchen was absolutely beautiful. Creamy beechnut colored cabinets and a shiny new refrigerator, a gas stove set among granite counter top and a beautiful hard wood floor. There was an L shaped island and the room was shared with a secondary dining room. A sliding glass door led to the back deck, which then led to a goodly sized back yard, fully fenced. There was a beautiful half bath off the kitchen as well as a closet for the washer/dryer unit.
We walk upstairs and I'm instantly in love with the master bedroom. A beautiful bedroom with lots of space, a walk in closet, and a full bathroom. Then there was a second full bathroom in the hallway, and two more fairly large bedrooms. The carpet was in great condition and the walls all had a new coat of paint.
We went straight back to the office and put in paperwork.
Then we learned the irony of the short sale, they are anything but quick.
