1445 Bexley

IT becomes more and more realistic everyday that we are buying a HOME! As we poach through Craigslist, check the scratch and dent section at Lowe's for appliances, check out blogs on home decor, and start packing stuff up, we get more and more excited about this house. Check out the listing HERE.

If you don't know, it has been over a year that we have tried to purchase a home. Because of many factors, it just hasn't happened. We determined that it was because it wasn't God's timing. We had to decide to be patient and wait on HIM to provide. It is so evident that He has provided for us (time and again), and it's no different this time. This is the best deal that we ever could have gotten on a home.

The house is a 1950, 1 story, 1500 sqft bungalow in Park Circle. It is sometimes referred to as the Old Village of North Charleston, It is an awesome up and coming community. The location is going to be awesome for us because it's only about 10 minutes from Mount Pleasant (where we both work), Downtown Charleston, and 5 minutes from the Outlets (April will love that).

We are so relieved that the inspection report came back so good! There are only minor things wrong with the home and the sellers are fixing almost all of them before closing. Oh yeah, it is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms AND has a 2 car garage that we will convert into a studio for April/workshop for me! We will have plenty of room for guests (Which we can't wait to have).

Our closing date is set for June 9th so please continue to pray that the process goes smoothly and everything goes through on time. Everything is still looking good, but we're not guaranteed a house until the keys are in hand! We can't wait to renovate our little home. We will be doing white wood floors in the places that have carpet right now. We're trying to find a good word that is a mix between vintage or retro and modern or contemporary. How bout Vintern? or Vintemporary? Anyways, that is the look we will be going for. I'm sure April's artistic design will come in handy :)
