New House Pictures
 

I was looking up my new town online and found these pictures of my new house!
(It's still listed until something ???? happens). This has more photos than the other listing.

Some more

These are upstairs

The deck and the view:

The house is gorgeous, I love the views from the deck.

That's a very cute house Judy! You'll love it there!

Judy it looks wonderful, I love it!

The new place is very nice Judy! I can see why you chose it! I hope your move goes smoothly and you have many happy years there.

The place is beautiful Judy! I love the view.

Wow, Judy, that is really nice!!! Love the view!!!!

The house is beautiful, love the views.. I wish you all the best...

Very nice.
I would be spending most of my time on that deck! What a view!
You must be getting so excited!!!!

Wow it looks great such open space, hope you will be very happy there.
Are you buying or renting?. We once lived in a place and when I looked out the back you could see nothing but mountains I loved it had to move on with hubbys job.

I love the upstairs balcony and the views from outside balcony!!!!

I am going to be living on the deck! Can you imagine having your morning coffee out there?

I spent the morning on the phone with the mortgage broker, realtor, talking the mover down on price, etc.

At this point, my moving date is July 27th, and the closing is July 25th.

I'm so excited, but so nervous! I'm not stressed, just nervous. This is all so new to me.

Here's the blurb from the real estate company:

EXTRA SPACIOUS TOWNHOUSE
This beautiful two bedroom townhouse is about the same size as many three bedroom townhomes, and all the living spaces are large, bright and gracious. The step-down living room with soaring, double-height ceiling leads to a huge private deck with mountain and woodland views. The eat-in kitchen with newer appliances (including just installed new range and microwave) is open to the living area and has an enclosed laundry closet with new washer and dryer.
The gorgeous, hand-wrought railing on the second floor landing is replicated from a railing in a French abbey. Efficient monitor heating keeps all rooms at an even temperature. There's also a full but unfinished basement with exterior access. Pool and tennis court use are included, as is exterior maintenance (painting, roof repair/replacement, deck repair/replacement, landscaping, road maintenance, snow plowing).

Beautiful, it has a lot of potential! Very spacious :thumbup:
I love the exposed beams in the ceiling and the iron work :)

Judy, that is a very lovely home! I can see why you picked it! It looks very spacious and the views are beautiful! I'm so glad that you found the right one!!!!

Wow that view is beautiful, but i love your new home Judy, the deck area is gorgeous, i can see you sitting there with a laptop, in the sun, or staring away into the mountains, with a glass of something nice ;)
You will love it there, good choice!!!

Please can I book my holiday now please please:D

Yes, just give me a few days notice! You can all come to visit.

Soon, we have to talk about decorating.

I think day 1, I'll just make up the bed, feed the animals and go to sleep.

Day 2 - food shopping and cleaning person to give the cabinets, drawers, etc, a good scrub down.

Day 3 - unpack the necessities and go swimming in the pool.

Judy, your house is beautiful. I see you are from Brooklyn, NY. Where are you moving to? My husband is a ret. NYC Police officer out of Brooklyn. He retired out of the 62 pct. but worked the 71 and 78. Elaine

Great choice Judy!
Spacious and comfy at the same time.
I hope you really enjoy it!

He was on Bath Avenue - that's a busy place, but it seemed like a pretty good neighborhood. How were the 71 and 78?

I have total respect for police officers! They put their lives on the line for us.


Were you ever a Brooklyn girl, or always a Jersey girl? Gina and I are Brooklyn girls.

I'm moving up to Roxbury, NY, which is close to Windham - It's so beautiful.

Your new house looks very nice! Congrats!

:congrats: Judy, I am so happy for you.

Love it Judy, the view is amazing !!! I hope you love it there !!

I love it. I have been a Realtor for 25 years and I know how stressful it can be for a buyer, but please relax, it will all work out fine. Good Luck

Thanks Donna. I think I'm getting over the stress.
The closing will be when it will be, and I decided that everything does not have to be perfectly done!

In other words, screw it! I'll get there soon, and hopefully with all my stuff.

So you're not sure when you get to move in yet? That's okay...it would be fun thinking about it and how you would arrange everything. I think it would be so great moving.....but to a much bigger place than what I have....LOL.

The stress is understandable because buying a home is one of the biggest investments that we make, but, you are not in control, it is the Realtor, Loan Officers, etc. They have to do their job and you can't do it for them.
"Easy for me to say?" I am a control freak and want to make sure everyone knows what they are doing. You might have this personality, hope not, it is stressful.:eek: Things will work out, can't wait for you to close and get in that house and on the deck.

My mortgage broker is a control freak. I really appreciate that about her. She's terrific. My realtor is also really good. Whatever I ask him to find out or do, he's right there. My lawyer - eh - but he does his job. There was a death and the whole law office was closed, so I'm assuming it was somebody close to them. That probably was what he was focused on.

I'm having the appraisal done Tuesday or Thursday (a "T" day) and as soon as that's written up, and the signed contract is sent to my mortgage broker, the bank can sign off on the mortgage. All the paper work for the mortgage has already been done.

I don't know if anything else has to be done, but I went to the beach yesterday with a friend and had a lovely day.

Good for you," relaxing", it is out of your control now.
Be sure to let me know about the appraisal.

Oh Elaine your in big trouble a Brooklyn guy, retired cop and ITALIAN!! I feel for you j/k. Where is your hubby from in Bklyn?, how old is he? maybe we went to school with him , as Judy mentioned we are both born and raised Bklyn girls and I am italian to...oh boy...lol We should meet with Judy, myself and Teri before Judy moves. We can do lunch by Pier Village that would be nice.. What do you girls think?


Judy good luck with your appraisal here in NJ you don't get your mortgage commitment until your appraisal is done.

Wow! It is gorgeous Judy! I think you'll really like it there. Congrats! (By the way, I love your attitude. I wish I could be more laid back like that!)

It took me years to get to be this way Angie! I love your hair in the picture.

I think that's a perfect match! The Italian boys were so gorgeous to us Brooklyn girls! We were always lusting after them. He "got off the block" by marrying a Jersey girl. It was very important which block(s) you were from, and often you were expected to marry and stay at least close to "the block," if you were Italian. Jewish girls, like I was, were expected to marry only Jewish boys and move to Long Island, have nose jobs and be really snotty b******.

These were some of the many Brooklyn rules during the baby boomer days. Don't blame me - I didn't make them up!

Gee, I love reading about these Jersey, Brooklyn, Jewish, Italian rules!!! Sounds like a TV show..so tell more!

It was such a wonderful place to grow up! There were so many kids! We were the baby boomers, and we had so much fun!!!

I will tell you more Brooklyn stories. Gina - you have to help me out here.

One thing I will tell you - we had the absolute best egg creams in the entire universe! Our pizza was also amazing. Brooklyn food was so good. We would cut out of school early when it got warm, and take the train to Coney Island.
We would go to Nathan's and have hot dogs and their fries, which have never been duplicated! They also had chow mein sandwiches, which consisted of chow mein and noodles on a hamburger bun. Disgusting isn't it? But - so good.

Maybe there's still hope for me. I don't know if I could ever give up my excel documents and color coded calendars though. In some ways, I am overly organized, but it helps me feel more relaxed about the future that way. Maybe with time I'll become more laid back. I worry WAY too much about the details...

Thanks for the compliment! I dressed up and took pics for Brendon as part of his anniversary gift. He really enjoyed it.
