As most of you have heard already, we finally bought a house!! Here it is.
It's an end unit townhouse in Barrhaven. Yep, I'm moving back to my old neighbourhood. It's not quite where my parents live but it's only about a 2 minute drive. It's within walking distance of Sobeys, Loblaws, Boston Pizza, Reitmans(yay!) and lots of other stores. 
As you can see from these pictures, the house does need some work but this is what we were looking for and finally we found it, at the right price. We have already gone to Ikea to pick out cabinets, which was lots of fun! 
It has 3 bedrooms upstairs. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of them but the front window is the master bedroom. There are 1 and a half baths and a partially finished basement. 
The livingroom/diningroom, stairs going upstairs and the landing upstairs are all done in hardwood which is an older style but is still nice looking. The bedrooms have carpet in them that all need to be replaced.
The backyard/garden needs some work too as there a lot of weeds but the deck is sturdy and nice and big.
So, you might be wondering when we are moving in. Well, luckily the place is empty right now and we have a closing date of September 14!! That's in 17 days!! I know, crazy!! But, we have our appartment till the end of September and we need to do the carpets and the kitchen before we move in so it's not that big of a rush but still quite soon. I am actually happy that we get it right away because I'm already going nuts not being able to just move and start going on things! We all know that I can be a little impatient...:) Come on over later this year....we can't wait to show it off.

I'm so excited for you! I remember the feeling of buying a new house for the first time! It's nice that you have the time to work on it beofre you move in. It's much easier that way!
It's looks nice and spacious! Love the big deck!
We'll have to come and see it next time we are in the area!
We've decided to move in on September 22 and will probably leave the kitchen till later but we'll see. Can wait to show you guys!
You neglected to mention it's a two minute drive to Jody's, Deb's, and Linda's and a two second walk to Ev's!!
Can't wait to welcome you as neighbours!! :)
