We're in escrow!


And it's going to be a long one! There are tenants currently occupying our future home which means we're going to have to wait 75 days to close - today was day 1.

This house is exactly 100 years old and we love that about it! 3 bedroom, 2 bath and plenty of room. This house has retained a lot of it's original charm while being updated. We've loved this house since last year and after looking at a dozen or more we knew it was the one we wanted. Close to downtown, close to schools, close to work and close to the beach.

The room to the left of the front door is a sun room. Some thirty years ago it was an artists studio. Not until last night did I know that the above portrait of my brother and me that has been hanging in my grandparents house for the past 30 years was painted in that very sun room/studio. So cool right? Now the portrait is in my possession and will get hung in that same sun room.

Congrats! 75 days is a long time to wait but it will be worth it in the end. Hope all is well.
