Our New Nest

After much house hunting we put an offer on the Silver house, a historic registry bungalow at all of 1200 square feet and 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. I fell in love with this adorable little house's charm, and with all of the outdoor living space I was convinced it would be perfect for us. Sadly for me at the time it was not meant to be, and they didn't accept our offer. After looking at what I was convinced was every house in our price range in the whole Nob Hill, UNM, Ridgecrest area, from funky floor plans to stinky houses with pet hair everywhere to a house that put the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house to shame, I was done looking.

But the following weekend everything fell into place, while a family was touring our house for the second time, we stopped by an open house in Nob Hill after having lunch at Nob Hill Bar and Grill with the pup. After taking turns looking, when I came out for the second time we both looked at each other and just knew this was the one. We received and accepted an offer on our house that Monday, and made the offer on the new house on Wednesday. After a stressful 48 hours of waiting, the sellers countered our offer, and we accepted. We were officially moving!

 

 

It's been two weeks now and it is starting to feel like home. Will post more pictures as I have time to take them! There have been several few repairs that just needed upkeep and addressing, but fortunately we have not encountered anything major, and have been very glad we decided to get a warranty. We are absolutely in love with the neighborhood, and the short commute has proven to be a major source of stress reduction for me. I love having everything we need and all the fun things we like to do in walking distance or a very short drive.  On Sunday we walked the 4 blocks to Central and had dinner at a great new place, B2B Bistronomy, which features all local burgers, wine, and beer. We might just need to add it to the regular rotation. They had a great seasonal pupkin beer and perfectly hot and flavorful green chili for the burgers. But the best part was walking home in the beautiful October evening.

 

We are all settling in and enjoyed a cozy evening and had my in-laws over as our first guests!
