Our ACTUAL New House!



Above is a slideshow of our actual new house! (The previous post about our new house was actually Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. We stopped there with Chip and Marcia on the way back from the Outer Banks.) The vital stats: built 1918, Arts and Crafts style, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, detached 2-stall garage, living room, dining room, den, awesome kitchen, fenced-in backyard, big front porch. It's in a neighborhood of Columbus called Clintonville. It's northeast of the Ohio State campus, about 3 miles from where we live now. Great family neighborhood. We're two blocks away from a great park, a couple blocks from the highway, and close to grocery stores, restaurants, church, etc.

One quick note: the stuff you see in the house isn't ours - it belongs to the sellers. We took these pictures while doing the home inspection. Our closing date is set for July 29, although our current lease isn't up until September 1st. So we'll spend the month of August packing, painting, and moving in. Should be exciting! We're hiring movers for the big stuff, but if anyone wants to help with smaller boxes or painting or just hanging out at the new place, you're more than welcome! Can't wait for you all to see it!

That looks great!

Congratulations.

It's too bad you are hiring movers, I like moving heavy things ;-)

Despite painful internet speeds (we're in Myanmar right now), I'm actually surfing the web, which I haven't done in ages, and came across your blog again... and saw the post about the house... and, well, congrats! A house with its own garage is a very exciting move!

Congrats both of you!
