I am so excited to be sharing this news with you and all of the upcoming fun home projects that I have been and will be working on over the next couple of months.
Since moving to the Madison area, I have wanted to purchase a home. Over the past couple of years I have been going to open houses and looking at homes in search of the perfect home. I went through many homes, and town homes but was never thrilled about any of them. There was always something that I did not like about the places I had looked at (which is common in the house hunting process). None the less nothing jumped out at me as amazing. The ideal home would not be an apartment or a condo but a smaller quaint home with lots of character, a screened in porch, small fenced in yard for the pups to run around in and a great location within walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants.
In the end I am glad that I took my time finding the perfect place, and I just happen to stumble upon it.
One Sunday A and I were out driving around and looking for open houses and came across this great street in Madison where they happened to be having an open house. We both absolutely feel in love with the area, we walked the bike/walking path all the way down to the coffee shop where we grabbed latte's and walked the lake. Everything about the area was full of great vibes.
reasons why I am glad I waited:
1.) it spoke to me:
I truly believe that when you find the right place that it will speak to you; which this home definitely did! The location, neighborhood, home, and everything about it was perfect. I get great vibes walking into my new place.
2.) the wait was well worth it:
I am the first person to admit when I want something; I wanted it yesterday. With that said I am glad I waited the biggest reason being that my opinion has changed over the past couple of years of what I really wanted out of a home. Meaning what I used to think I wanted was a newer, "perfect" home with everything done for me, a "cookie cutter" sort of home if you will. A couple of years ago I would have also said that I didn't really care much about the location as long as it was within 10 minuets of Target of course.
Since then my vision of what I call home has changed. I was really looking for a place to call home in a great area where I could make friends with neighbors and throw great chic swaray's for friends, family and neighbors.
I am happy to say that I have found the perfect home in a desirable Madison neighborhood called Dudgeon-Monroe.
