The House

So I've been telling you all about the house via facebook updates, etc but I haven't actually posted anything about it. About a month ago, I was casually looking through a couple of online real estate postings when I came across this cute little farm house in Lufkin. We decided to drive around town and look at a few properties, and we discovered that this property was off a small country road just on the Angelina side of the river. The location is ideal, since Mark works in Lufkin and I work and go to school in Nac. So we set up a time to view the house. And we fell in love with it. It's an old farmhouse, built in 1920 (at least part of the house - I think it was added on to probably in the 50s or 60s), has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, and is 1400 sq. ft. The living room has a fireplace, and the living room and master bedroom have 12-foot ceilings. The kitchen is dated, but we can work with it. The dining room is perfect for my grandmother's furniture. The second bedroom is...well, tiny. It's going to be a computer room. The bathroom leaves a little to be desired, but it's nothing I can't live with for a while. Oh, did I mention the acre of land it comes with? And the 4 and a half million trees? Our entire yard is shaded, which is very nice (though it will be a pain in the fall). It also has a very cute front porch that extends across the entire front.

So there you have it. I'll post pics as soon as I can get them.
