So it's looking good for a house. Going to see my agent tomorrow morning, and we will be accepting the counter-offer to the offer I made today on a nice little place in Île Perrot.

It's an almost brand-new house (built in 2009) with a nice, if entirely unused, garden and a really awesome semi-finished basement. It's essentially perfect for my needs right now, nice and accessible, not so far from the city as to be unmanageable in terms of a commute, and there's a fresh fruit & veggie market at the end of my street.

In short, it's a good fit, and I am excited. I hope everything else works out so that, come this time in October, I will be moving into my very own house. :)


This is what the house looks like on the outside.

Aww! It's cute, too! No train yards, or airports, or government housing anywhere close by?

LOL

Nope, nothing of the kind. Nice neighbourhood, close to a bunch of things, including the highway to get to work.

WHEEEE!!! Well done, you!! It really is pretty and a garden for you to fix up! You like doing that, right, or is that Mim?

Either way, now you get to meet the the building inspector, aka the Hugh Jackman Look-a-like. *sigh*

Both Mim and I enjoy gardening.

Waiting to hear back from the inspector. *wibbles frantically*

And, even though I know better, please tell me you agree with my "woah-OMG-dreamboat" assessment of said inspector? :-)

Inspection is tomorrow, so yeah, I'll let you know. :D

Oooh So exciting! Where in Ile Perrot? Fingers crossed for you.

It's on 7th Avenue, right after Ste. Anne de Bellevue, about two minutes off the 20.

I'm very excited!

Cute! Are you planning on doing any work in it?

Let me know if you want any shrubs, flowers or plants to decorate the front. I have an overabundance of Black-Eyed Susans and raspberries as well as other perennial stuff I'm more than willing to share.

The house itself doesn't need work, it's new, built in 2009. I want to plant cedar bushes all around the edge of the yard for privacy purposes, and I would LOVE to snag a bunch of perennials from you. There are flowers in the garden that aren't in the picture, but they're not really to my taste.

Yay gardening!

HAUS! BLU HAUS!

I grew up in Ile Perrot, a bit further in. :)

Cool! So it'll be familiar grounds for you when you come to visit. ;)

Looks good, and with a little curb appeal (maybe build a portico around the door that echoes the peaked gables, add some flowers and shrubs, and remove the 'decorative' boulders), and it will be even better! Hope everything goes smoothly and you snag the sucker!
Fingers crossed

Yup! There's already some flowers that you can't see in the picture, so with some TLC and a lot of gardening I think it'll end up looking great. I'm also thinking window boxes in the summer, if I can manage it. With some nice annuals, maybe. :)
