So, let me tell the story of how we found this little guy...
I found a listing online for a reasonable price and decided to call the number and see if I could go check out the property. Well, Shane gave me the supposed address and I went to check it out. When I found the address, the house wasn't the description that I read on the add. The add said it was suppose to be a duplex. So, I just thought maybe the add was wrong, since it looked like no one was living in this house anyways. The landlord told me over the phone that the back door would be open so I could just walk right in and check things out. So....that's what I did.
I walked up to the cute little brick house (the wrong house) and noticed that the back door was wide open...so I did what any person would do...I walked right in...
Only a few steps in and I suddenly got the feeling I shouldn't be in there. No one lived here that's for sure because it looked like a construction zone. Someone was definitely trying to fix it up. When I was about to leave all of a sudden I heard "HEY! What are you doing in my house?!" Oh, (insert bad word). I just explained to the man that I thought I had the wrong house and that I was sorry. Once he realized I wasn't robbing him...he went on to tell me that even though it wasn't listed or had a sign out front, he was indeed looking to rent out the house! And he even told us he would drop the price significantly per month just so we would rent it. And so we did! We are getting quite the deal, and although it still has a LOT of things that need to be fixed...it's perfect for us. We love it! It was a blessing I walked into the wrong house that day.
Here are a few pictures...trying my best to give you guys an idea of where we're living!
This is our Living Room! The two couches were already here which was nice. So we just are trying to make it feel a little bit more like "home".
We have a vintage 70's kitchen...from the floors to the drawers, to the sink, and to the wall colors!
Now our bedroom and bathroom is for sure one of a kind. There is no wall to separate the two!
Yes, I was a bit concerned when I first looked at it...but it's kind of just like a big open hotel room! I just make sure to always have some sort of candle lit. Our shower/tub is a jacuzzi so it's really nice! Of course we give each other privacy when one is using the bathroom....most of the time. We're married right? Guess we need to step out of those comfort zones. :)
This is our backyard! Yes, there is a hot tub! Sadly, the landlord needs to put new water pipes in it and get a new cover. So, we aren't using it. The backyard is pretty spacious too! Once it's all done it will be a nice place to throw parties and have barbecues!!
Our basement is a little scary...reason being, the stairs are like a ladder. It's a little difficult going up and down them with laundry baskets! But I've found a safe and careful to do it. The laundry came with the house too which was a blessing!
And here it is!!! Our little brick house. We love it here!
