We feel pretty confident that we've found the place we've been looking for, believe it or not, just after a couple of weekends of scouring the countryside. The house is in an older, sprawling neighborhood called Habersham. It's just off Hwy 20, less than a mile from GA400, which is perfect for my commute to work. The only downside is that the neighborhood isn't as young a
s we'd like, but it definitely helps us in our offer price versus asking price. The house is pretty much everything we've been looking for: a ranch style house (without looking like a ranch), with a great airy great room and kitchen with a sunroom off the master bedroom. The basement is the real kicker though. It is fully finished with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace/extra sitting area, office (with builtin bookcases/cabinet around every wall, extra room (perfect for my crafting), and a wood deck along the length of the basement underneath the most excellent deck outside the great room and kitchen upstairs on the main level. I'm serious, this place is really swank. We've actually taken the plunge and submitted an offer - we're hoping the the couple will accept the offer as is (but we figure they will at least entertain it and submit a counter-offer). This house costs a fair amount less than the other house we were wanting to buy, so that's just an additional plus. Now we're playing the waiting game before serious negotiations come into play either tomorrow or the following day. Eek!
