OMFG!!!

I just made an offer on this house. OMFG!!!

The other one, near Ande, was a combination of too expensive and too much work.

This darling little place I've been eying for months. It's on the route between my apartment and the library, so I look at it every Saturday. It's desperately perfect - been completely renovated inside and out, and is a steal, to boot, because it's frankly just right for one person but would be considered a no-go by a couple (the master bedroom is tiny and there's just a half bath attached). HOWEVER! There's a bonus room that's good size and would make a perfect bedroom for me. So for me, it's a go-go!

If you pan around in the picture, you'll see it's across the street from a lovely park, and there are the mountains in the distance. A block away is the library and the (gulp!) senior center, where my membership just got stamped eligible, having just turned 50.

So there's no Ande nearby, but everything else is hunky dory. I should hear soon if the seller accepts or counteroffers. Honestly, I didn't think I could qualify for a loan, but times are hard right now and any meat that waltzes through the door smells fresh!

UPDATE (Saturday 4:00 pm): I GOT IT, I GOT IT! WAAHOO! I GOT A GREAT DEAL ON THIS LITTLE GUY, AND I'M MOVING IN AROUND THE END OF JANUARY, SO PACK YOUR BAGS, LADIES!! IT'S HOUSE PARTY TIME!
