Homeward Bound

This is the reason we've been distracted from blogging lately!  This morning we closed on a new house.  As you can see, it's definitely modest and a bit of a fixer-upper.  But it's in the only neighborhood that we've ever truly "loved" in Northern Virginia.  So we decided to go for it, rather than moving miles outside of the city to get more space.  Split level, 4 BR, 2.5 bath, on a nice quiet street.  Needs plenty of TLC (e.g., original siding/windows, old roof), but it's 84-yr-old former owner was handy and took very good care of the inside.  Our Family 5 had a good run in our condo, but we are super excited to finally move into a single family home on November 20th.  Wish us luck!  Come visit!  Send money!

It appears to be a beautiful family home and I couldn't help but think how much it looks like your childhood home. So happy for all of you and now you can spread out and still be in the area you love. Love to all, "GAP"
