on wednesday i went looking at housing options with my parents (since FI is so busy in the office 12 hours a day). we looked all around in old town orange, since my FI will be finishing his last year at Chapman Law we thought it might be a good idea to live near campus, plus all the cute little craftsman bungalows are to die for!
first we checked out 2 "places" (i won't call them homes) that the University had to offer us, and to be totally truthful, they just aren't the nest i had envisioned for us to live.
just after viewing these 2 non-options my parents suggested we pray about this housing situation, and my dad and i continued to look for rental signs in the area.
then while driving the neighborhood.... my dad and i called a sign on an adorable gem which was for sale.... not that we will be in a position to buy when we get married, but since i'm a Realtor, we could go in and check out the house!
here it is:
my car would match the house so well! =)
it has so much charm, and is so suited to our taste, that i asked the owner if they would consider leasing it - and they said it could be a possibility....
here's the adorable kitchen with stainless appliances and a farmhouse kitchen sink!
a little breakfast nook off the kitchen where the current owner (a recent law grad) has his study office all set up!
the bathroom with wainscoting on the walls!
last but not least - the yard which would be great for warm summer night BBQ's
this is where i need to come back down to earth... it's for sale, and there's no way we could afford to buy anything even though the market is so low right now. the owner did say that they would consider leasing it to us, since they love the home and quasi know my fiance... there might be hope!
but if those of you reading this could pray that the owners would consider the lease option for us, it would be a real blessing to live this close to Chapman and in such an amazing place!
any other soon - to - be - newlyweds out there struggling to find their perfect place to call home?
