In the Boonies

Erin and I have finally found a house that we like. We’ve made an offer, and it’s been accepted. There’s just a few loose ends to tie up with our existing home before we firm up the deal on the new one.

I have to say that we’re REALLY excited about this place. It’s about 20 minutes from Fredericton, which I really like. I like having privacy, and that’s what we got. This place is in Upper Kingsclear on a 2 acre wooded lot overlooking Kelly Creek.

It’s a 2 story, 5 bedroom, 2400 sq ft cabin-style house built on the hillside. It puts the house in Oromocto that we’d been bidding on to shame. In fact, that place could fit inside this one!

It has hardwood floors throughout with the exception of some new burber carpet on the lower level family room and one or two of the bedrooms. There is an electric forced-air furnace, wood stove, air exchanger, and central vac, which are all pretty new, as well as new appliances.

We take possession in June, and we can’t wait! Driving 20 minutes to work every day will be a breeze compared to the 70 minute drive we make right now.

For those of you who are interested, email me and I’ll send you the MLS listing.
