The House Hunt Continues


So, on Thursday Matt and are going to be touring some more houses. Hopefully these houses won’t suck quite as much as the Blue House on Lurie Street. That house was just scary. I’m not sure if we’ll actually be able to see all 4 houses, but these are the 4 we asked to see;

  • 955 Emerald Avenue – This one seems nice. A 3 bedroom, 1 bath house with a proper dining room, a fireplace, and a 2 stall garage. Full basement is good, as well. I’m not terribly impressed with some of their paint or carpet choices, but those can be changed eventually. Plus, the location is decent.
  • 923 Emerald Avenue – This one looks really nice. Again, a 3 bedroom, 1 bath house. No fireplace, but that’s not a deal-breaker. The 2 stall garage is built like a tank, and the huge yard is nice. There’s no real dining area, though. The basement is also listed as a Michigan basement, but I’ve heard many definitions of “Michigan basement.” The washer & dryer are in the basement, so it’s probably not a dirt floor. If it’s just low ceilings, I can handle that.
  • 830 Malta Street – No pictures on this one, which is why I’m so eager to see the inside. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath on the main floor, and another bathroom and an office in the basement. 2 stall garage is attached via a breezeway, which is nice. It lists a “dining area”, so I’m curious to see how big that is, as well.
  • 727 Harlan Avenue – Again, no pictures of the inside, and I’m really hoping this one isn’t crappy inside, because I want so badly for it to be a nice house. 3 bedroom, 2 bath, fireplace on the main floor, a proper dining room, 2 stall attached garage, enclosed porch and a fenced back yard. I worry slightly about the description of a “Country Kitchen” though. Of the 4 houses, this one is my favorite by description alone; obviously things can change when we actually see the interiors.

So that’s the breakdown of houses we plan to tour on Thursday – expect an update with pictures sometime after Thursday night.

    So far, I’m liking the 923 Emerald house best, although that’s dependent on the basement not being a complete hole in the ground. The pictures look nice, it’s got a great yard, and I like that “Garage built like a tank” thing. We’ll have to see how they all stack up once we can see the insides for ourselves.
