Who would have thought with all the running around and planning for this upcoming wedding (a week away), we would find time to buy a house.But we DID!!
It is bank owned, actually Freddie Mac. Needs some cosmetic work....cleaning, painting, replacement of carpet, all new ceiling lights. But mostly in good condition. Was built in 2006, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den and covered screened lanai. It is located south east of Venice, Florida, in a city called North Port. The area has a lot of new construction (both commercial and residential)just within the past 5-10 years. We have no neighbors on either side or across the street. And just one home directly behind the house. There are a few homes down the street and scattered through out the "sub". Very quiet area. Now we are waiting to do the home inspection and praying nothing will be found (like Chinese drywall) to ruin this deal. This house hunting has been a process! Not like they show on HGTV! Hasn't been all smiles and a happy time. Working with the government, on their own time clock, has been slow and frustrating for us. But in the end, we think we got a great deal.
Now we are asking for volunteers to help paint and clean, will trade for free room and board within 15 miles to the Gulf Coast! Any takers out there?
