Greetings & Salutations Faithful Stapleton Blog Readers.
Just thought I would drop a quick entry to let you know that we have completed negotiations on a new Stapleton Mansion. We have been offering and counter offering for the past couple of days and to be honest, Jess was the one that came up with the magic number. I just told her that I was getting way too Alpha-Male on this, just give me a number! This is the last offer we are going to make. The house is exactly what we wanted and exactly where we wanted it and the best part is the price was waaaaayyyyy below what we wanted to pay. It just makes my cheap little heart go pitter patter. (I sense a God thing going on here) So since we were already pre-approved we are at the home inspection phase that could still scuttle the deal. We really won’t know for sure about the house until the first week of August.
The house is located on Broadmoor Drive off of East Pea Ridge Road. The house has an attached garage and will be (before we move in) 3 beds 2 full baths and a big family room in the basement. The lot is rolling and with a flat piece at the top of the lot where the house is and a not so gentle slope down to the bottom part of the lot which is flat also. But compared to what Petey is used to, he will need a golf cart to do a complete patrol of the yard.
The house is about 3 minutes from the interstate I think it will cut about 10 minutes off of my commute. In addition to that, it is very close to Church and 3 roads and several hillsides away from my mother-in-law (yesssss)! Can’t get much better than that! Well we will keep you all informed. Have a good one.
