After a marathon 2 days of househunting (plus another day of negotiations), we found a house we love and are now under contract to buy it! Hard to believe we were able to sell one house and start the buying process on another within a few days of each other. The Portland house is scheduled to close on July 23rd, and the Greenville house is scheduled for the next day.
A funny story to embarrass Courtney (the 4-year old) with when she's older: she helped pick this house out by giving one of the bathrooms a "test drive" when nature (urgently) called...
It's a really cute 3 bedroom/2 bathroom 1940's house on historic Earle Street. It's actually quite small compared to most of the stately brick houses on the street, but it should be plenty big enough for us. We definitely sacrificed property size for location, but the proximity to downtown was impossible to pass up. We can drive to the heart of downtown in ~3 minutes. It's also easily walkable, and there's even a free trolley with a stop 1.5 blocks from the house that we can take downtown or to the baseball park.
Downtown Greenville sure has grown up a lot since we last visited. There's tons to see and do (plenty to blog about in the future). Here's a few more pictures. Rhonda can hardly wait to start throwing some paint up on the walls!
