Picking the Perfect Fixer Upper

Welcome to our home by the creek!


She's a beaut in need of love!  Thank goodness for air travel and shortcuts or 
we would have not found this great home! 
We found our lovely abode after picking up two friends from the airport 
who then showed us a back way to their house. 
Now we will be their neighbors, and proud homeowners! 
This house is a typical 1950s brick ranch home.
It meets ALL of our Criteria!
(Found in our recent post: The Hunt is On)




  • Around 1600 sq. ft ........................ 1740 sq. ft. on a gorgeous 1 acre lot with a creek in the backyard
  • Brick Exterior................................ CHECK! (although in desperate need of a paint job)
  • Within the budget......................... DOUBLE CHECK!
  • 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (3/2)...... Yep!
  • Located in our top 3 areas............ Alright!
  • Needs Updating...no Major Reno (like an addition!).... YES!

  • Here is the Floor plan of our new abode...






    This is all just a rough go at the plans... but my mind is a frenzy of ideas right now!
    Still awaiting the final inspection as well... fingers crossed!!
