Very nice pad, what year was it built? Lovin' those floors and door ways.
you got a lot of windows. you consider passive solar at all?
was the blonde included?
The house was built in 1919, and was owned for the last 30 plus years by Eastern Menonite College in West Virginia, and used as a student house for students they had attending Catholic University. Buying it from a University proved to be a godsend, as they took our offer right away, they priced it to move and there was no drama of dealing with a person. It just had to pass a committee.
My records will go on the first floor for now....and then in the attic once I finish it (all of which will be after I sell my current house). The attic is amazingly cool, literally. We will also be doing solar shingles on the roof, as DC has a grant program that promotes solar, so with the size of the place we need that boost.
The best part is that this was all unplanned. We saw it just over 1 month ago today, the weekend before July 4. My wife's mother lives around the corner (it's just off Rhode Island and South Dakota NE for DC folks), and she got a flyer. We just were curious as to what an 8-bedroom house looked like. Funny how things work out, it was too much of a steal NOT to try to get it. And thanks to a great agent(who was a former co-worker of mine), we got it together. Now the whole family lives within 1 square block!
Welcome to the club (of people who brown bag it to offset their mortgages ).
HALF-gentrifier. Or blendifier, if you prefer. We will be rocking the Trinidad flag, along with the neighbors behind us.
The blond is our agent. Not a built in.
Also, good story, we found out at the closing that our main competition was a pack of nuns, but we beat out their sorry asses!
For fucking real!
C***, I'm looking forward to helping you move your records.
Into my car.

are you sure it's not haunted? it's looks a little too good to be true, just saying, better have a paranormal expert do a walk-through
CONGRATS MAN.
