Delayed Gratification is a Pain

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Congratulations to Emily, Patrick and Elliott!

Key Day is always a big deal, but these keys in particular were a big hit with little Elliott. With the keys to their new home in her hot little hands she was ready to unlock every door in sight!

Unfortunately, this little family won’t be moving in for a few weeks. One of the terms that helped get their offer accepted was an agreement to allow the seller to occupy the home after the closing date.

That delayed possession can be a little frustrating for excited new homeowners. But in this competitive market a willingness to provide sellers with that flexibility can help get your offer accepted.

I’ll be celebrating with with these happy homeowners again in a few weeks when they take possession of their home and finally get to use those keys on the front door.

Price: $450,000

This delightfully dialed-in Montavilla home is stylish and move-in ready. The cheery, bright yellow door welcomes you into a lovely light-filled living space with hardwood floors, tasteful colors, and updated light fixtures. The large L-shaped living room area overlooks a beautiful front garden that’s cheerful even on a rainy day when water trickles down the rainchains at the front porch overhang.

The updated kitchen adjoins the dining area and features a tiled floor and stainless appliances, including a recently installed gas range. The kitchen window has a view to the backyard filled with seasonal plants and trees. Enjoy outdoor living and entertaining in this spacious fenced yard with concrete patio and pea gravel patio with a firepit.

The upstairs bedrooms have adorable window alcoves that face the front yard—one of them has a built-in window seat with wall-mounted bookshelves nearby. Current owners admit both their kitty and their baby will miss this cozy snuggle spot.

The laundry area is in the unfinished basement which is clean and freshly painted with nice ceiling height. There’s plenty of room for storage and whatever else you envision for the space.

Third Time’s a Charm!

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Try and try again.

Home-buying is competitive lately, but newlyweds, Eamon and Pam were successful with the 3rd offer they submitted. We went in strong with an offer at 5% over the listing price and they included a commitment to move forward with the purchase as long as the home appraised for at least the listing price. That did the trick. Inspections took place during the chaos of the February ice and snow. Despite the crazy weather we got the job done and negotiated seller credit to cover some important repairs for the home.

The South Tabor home has been owned by the same family for 90+ years, since it was built in 1930. There’s a nice big yard that overlooks another neighbor’s even larger yard. The setting almost feels like it backs up to a park. Rarely do we find a small home with grand house features like this one. The living room has charming leaded glass windows and a fabulous fireplace. Built-in cabinets add old-world charm. The bathroom is spacious with cool vintage tile and hardwood floors run throughout the main floor. Clearly the house has been lovingly cared for by it’s original owners, but there’s great potential for the buyers to invest some sweat equity and polish things up a bit. Maybe someday they’ll finish off the basement. But for now they are picking out paint colors, planning a garden and settling in nicely to the South Tabor neighborhood. Congratulations to my favorite pandemic newlyweds!
