we got a house!!!!!!!!!

here are several pictures of the house:

the front (it feels so much bigger in person)

the kitchen that needs help!

the living room

the dining room

random pics of the dining room in use by previous residents! hahaha! check out granny!

we put in an offer today for an awesome house and it was accepted later this afternoon. we even beat out a higher bidder because they asked for a longer closing. yes! we are very excited but definitely slightly overwhelmed by the magnitude of the project.


the house is a total of 3000 square feet which includes a crappy finished basement. it is a magnificent craftsman style home built in 1909. it is quite a deal and is located right off colfax and cook just east of downtown denver. 2.5 blocks from city park!!! the house used to be some sort of facility because the bedrooms are numbered and there is a commercial fire alarm system.


of course, our offer is pending 3 major things: complete mortgage approval, inspection, and other offers for more. wish us luck!

we are very excited to get started rehabing the house and to sell it. we hope to do it in 3 months!!!

wow, beautiful house...it certainly has great bones to work with. good luck with the acceptance of your offer and inspection. does it need much work or is most of it cosmetic?
