aka.... how I made out with my list of what I wanted in a new house....



1) Location - Totally made out with this. Orange line stop is a 20 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride :D

2) Central AC - its a must! Check!

3) Up-to-Date fuse box, plumbing, windows, and roof - these are leaning very heavy on the must have side :-) Fuse and roof are all updated. Windows are original... and will be replaced by me. Plumbing... seems in good condition.

3) No Upstairs neighbors - Must have! Check!

4)Do not share property-lines with renters - it's a must! Check!

5) Gas cooking - Must! Check!

6) Fireplace - Nice to have Got one :D

7) 1.5 baths - Must Check!

8) 2 bedrooms - Must Check! (there are 3!)

9)Garage - Nice to have Got one!

10) Pre-assigned parking - Nice to have... but almost Must ;) Check! if you count my driveway!

11) Lots of closet space - including walk-in master... linen closet, and kitchen pantry. Upstairs has lots of closet space, no kitchen pantry though :(

12) No neighbors that leave dogs out to bark all day (thanks mom!) Check!

13) House is not on a road with a double yellow-line I am on a road with a double yellow line, but its one lane each way, and there are speed humps.

14) No heat pump - must have Check!
