The House!



Well we did it. With lots of help from our family, we bought a house. We're so excited to have our own space!

Details:

3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 bedroom downstairs
1 bathroom upstairs, one downstairs
Finished basement with WICKED wood paneling and a sweet fireplace
A laundry room! Yay!
A big backyard with lots of potential for fun!
Open living area upstairs
The front seems ideal to construct a wheelchair ramp for Claire and the stairway to the basement is wide enough to put a lift downstairs
Across the street from an elementary school, a large field and two playgrounds
In Millwoods (a.k.a. Mill"hoods") - at least it's better than Whyte Ave where we are now!
Our realtor was able to negotiate putting new shingles on the roof and cash back to cover a new furnace after we discovered these problems at the home inspection! Lucky!
It's an okay commute for Ryan to work
No apartment managing anymore!
