Haus!

[solarbird]

We finally have another haus we like. Click here for listing pictures; it's big, it's on a quiet street, it's not an architectural style I'd have picked (1960, needs updating inside) but I can handle that; I like the layout. (It's unusual; three wings.) It's a little over a third of a mile to acceptable bus service and half a mile from Burke-Gilman. The downside: it's in Kenmore. The other downside: it's also a little over 1/3 of a mile from Bothell Way, so there's highway noise, about at the level of the wind chimes in the back yard. That's a lot less than I've got now (courtesy 20th; we hear traffic inside, even after soundproofing), but a lot more than zero. And occasionally I can hear the dock noises from Lake Washington's last industrial dock, 3/4 of a mile away. But that part I'm okay with; it's kind of cool.

Go here and scroll down for the MLS listing, and go here for the nighttime pictures I took of the inside. (Some of them are still huge, sorry; but many are small.)

So, anyone know anything that screams HORRIBLE MISTAKE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO?! out there? Anybody?

EDIT: For some reason, the pictures don't want to load clicked from here. Go to the MLS listing and click on "See additional pictures" for the outside/realtor pictures. It's the second listing, the one in Kenmore.

checking it out

If you are going to take a look at it, I may be able to go with out and do a bit of an unofficial inspection? Looking at both phisical issues and practical functionality. Extra eyes never hurt.

This is after already going out there twice - we're thinking we're going to make an offer and see how it goes. Scary!
