Under Contract!

Let the stress begin! Today we're finally under contract to purchase this lovely place: http://www.redfin.com/VA/Alexandria/419-N-West-St-22314/home/11839767

As you can tell from the few pictures it needs some work. What you can't tell is that it needs a lot of work. It's missing furnaces, a water heater, sinks, a window, and the kitchen appliances. There isn't any trim or thermostats or light switches.

What does it have you ask? Location, square footage, and the potential to be really awesome! The house is 3.5 blocks from a Metro station, it's about 2300 sq. ft and once we pretty it up a bit it'll be a great place to live. Who can beat 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an attic and a dry basement in Old Town?

Why the Green Monster? That's what Henry's called it from Day #1, since the previous owners put a very large mint green addition on the back of a brick cube.

This week's to do's: get a home inspection and an FHA appraisal to find out exactly what we need to fix to move in.
