A little background info on us:
Who we are: Amie (me) and Evan.
We also have 2 cats, Bunny (left) and Oliver (right) who will also be enjoying the house with us!
Our home history:
Evan and I have rented apartments since we started dating in 2008. We first rented a small house with a roommate until after our engagement in 2009. We then rented an over-priced, 900 sq. foot apartment for the next year while I was still in college. We moved across the street (literally) to a bigger, cheaper apartment in 2010. Evan's job transfer in 2011 had us move about 80 miles north, to a brand new apartment in a great area. We loved this apartment, but we feel we were wasting money we could be putting towards our own place.
So at the end of December 2011, we accepted a counter offer on our little Cape Cod house on Elm St that we fell in love with. Our closing date on the home is February 3rd, and we are so excited to make it our own! It is a 3 bed/2bath home with a partially finished basement.

Our little Cape Cod!
This to me is the room that has the most potential- the front porch.
There is a 2 car detached garage that leads out to a private alley. There is a newer fence in place, which is not pictured here.
This is the living room with the amazing fireplace. All of the wood floors are original.
This is the room between the living room and the kitchen. This is what is going to be the office area for us.

Here is our kitchen. It's going to need a tiny bit of work.

Here is the dining room. This area is going to need the most work.
Here is the downstairs bathroom. Not much will be changing here.
And the master suite, which is in the old attic. Love this space, but needs some work!
And the master bathroom bathtub. Love.
We are so excited for all of the potential we have for this house, and glad you are along for the ride!
