I am excited. We found our new home, for the next 2 years, maybe longer. It is awesome. It is perfect for us. It is an old home, built in 1955. It has been completely updated inside and out. The neighborhood is old and well established, as well as very family friendly. It will be perfect for us to start our new life here in California.

Front gate with electric lock and intercom- have to be buzzed into front courtyard.
Front courtyard with fountain
Large Kitchen with double oven, center island, and LOTS of storage
Built in banquette
Did I say LOTS of storage?
Formal Dining- LOTS of storage, open to living room with a fireplace. Opens to back patio.
Outdoor bathroom
Under one of the pergolas, large tile counter/table plus sink and fridge.
Citrus trees- a lemon, lime and some kind of tangerine/nectarine thing
And last but not least- a pool!!!!! We are all very excited about this part.
So there are lots of mixed feed back on the area. It's not the "ideal" area. That would be Folsom or el Dorado Hills. Thats like North Orem vs. Lindon or Highland. But the house is a GREAT deal and we recognize the Lords hand in how we found the house. It wasn't even on our radar. I kinda called by mistake, the Landlord called me back, we talked for a while, made an appointment and then did a drive by. I said no upon initial drive through the neighborhood. When getting ready to go to the appointment, we almost didn't go. But decided what the heck. We walked in and looked at each other and said, "This is it." And we have seen LOTS of places. I think we are up around 15-20 houses either seen or driven by. We applied, put down our money for a credit check and waited to see if we were "chosen" of the 4 families that applied. She called us today to tell us the house is our and we take occupancy on 11th of June.















Yeah for you! It's nice and a pool, you'll need it this summer! Love older homes, lots of character and little things like a courtyard!
