My dream house

DH will be starting a new job in 3 weeks. We have decided to wait about 6 months to make sure everything works out and to save up some more money, and then we will buy a new house. Always being one to enjoy fantasy house shopping (clearly different from the rather stressful actual house shopping), I started looking on realtor.com. My oh my! I am in love. This one house is so clearly miles and miles better than all the other houses in our price point in the area we want. I have no idea why it's so cheap. It is spacious, sunny, fairly new, has kitchen appliances to die for, and backs up to a really cute little park that allows on-leash dogs. I will be so heartbroken if it's gone by the time we start seriously looking, but I know that is very likely. :(

Re: My dream house

  • I LOOOOOVE it! Especially the fireplace wall - awesome!

    What neighborhood is it in? It looks super familiar to me.

  • It's in the Bucktown/Logan Square area. I actually have a friend who bought a house just a few blocks away!

  • That looks amazing! FX it's still available when you're looking to buy!
  • That looks so nice! I love the openness and the double sinks. I hope that it's still there when you are ready to buy!
  • Thanks ladies! I think my hopes are up higher than they should be.

  • The neighborhood makes me love it even more! I'll keep my hopes up for you. Nothing is really selling here, so it might actually happen!

  • I sent in a request through realtor.com almost a week ago saying we wanted to come see it this Saturday. I never heard back from the agent. Clearly they aren't that eager to sell it to me!

  • Alas, I heard back from the agent today and she said my dream house is under contract so they're not doing any more showings. She told me she'd let me know if the sale falls through, so I suppose there is still a tiny possibility. Then she suggested some other properties that are $75K more that the one I wanted... Um, no thanks.
