We bought a gingerbread house

So after deciding we didn't know of any other houses to look at... Adam took some wise council from his real estate partner and told us which neighborhoods to concentrate on. The "up and coming areas that are starting to attract the young professionals." He ran some searches for us and found a new round of houses for us to look at. Long story short, we looked today and found three we really liked, but one was not only one of the cutest houses I have ever seen... but it was also 30K under budget. SCORE!

There were people looking at it when we were there and when Adam talked to the seller's agent she informed us that there were 4 showings today and another agent has already called and let her know her buyers were making an offer and there are 4 more showings scheduled for tomorrow. Adam and I decided this house was too good to pass up... so we put in an offer, got a counter tonight (a difference of 1500) so are accepting in the morning!!! We are VERY excited. It has the perfect amount of fix up work needed so we can really jazz the house up to our taste. But in no way is it a fixer-upper.. AND it has a huge basement that is calling a large man room/guest suites name as soon as we have the funds to renovate that.

Here is the picture of the front of the house (don't mind the tumor growing out of the left side... they were doing some work and that won't be staying there LOL)... will post more pictures after this is a done deal. Keep in mind we will still have to get through inspection, etc.
