While we were searching for a townhouse to buy, it was hard to wrap our interests around several of the ones we saw, whether it was a tiny kitchen, a large area but laid out in a way that most of it was unusable, or remodeled but in a way that didn’t suit our taste. When it came down to what it was we were both looking for we settled on pretty basic criteria: 2-3 bedroom since we needed an office because we both do a great deal of work at home, quiet neighborhood that was a reasonable driving distance to work, something well kept and if remodeled, done very well. THE ONE ended up being an un-remodeled unit BUT extremely well maintained so there wouldn’t be any rush or need to spend money up front after the purchase and most importantly had plenty of potential, because I knew no matter how hard we searched, there wasn’t going to be anything that fit what our ‘dream home’ would look like… initially. Which brings us to our first major project!
