A NorCal girl no more

dsnylndmom · 04-18-2005, 08:07 PM

As of June I won't be a NorCal girl anymore! We got notice from our landlord that we have to be out by June first so we started house hunting and just came up totally empty handed. Kurt suggested looking further down south, Bakersfield, due to his business(most of his work is in that area)and we went down this weekend to look around. We ended up finding a house all four of us liked the first day! (after looking at 15 others PLUS new houses online)we put an offer in on Saturday and found out today that they accepted! So we're moving! The house is in the school district we liked (very highly rated yay!)and it's within walking distance to the new jr. high and elementary. It's 1725 sq ft, 4 bdrm, 2bth with a very nice sized lot, 7800 sq ft and a gated pool that has a rock waterfall in the back! Plus, a nice sized grassy area big enough for a playfort for the kids!

Pool Parties at my house!

Now I just have to convince Kurt that THIS is a necessity for the backyard and I"m set!

Just wanted to share! I'm beyound excited about FINALLY becoming a homeowner!!!

Crap I can't believe I forgot! The street addy is MATTERHORN WAY!!!

Everyone in my house is extrememly excited for you Tina! You know we will be there to help you guys move.

If you are going to have a Tiki Bar, then the pool needs to be The Jungle Cruise.

Lol! It was meant to be, eh? Congrats!!!!!

MerryPrankster · 04-18-2005, 08:15 PM

Congratulations, Tina! Good luck to you and your family -- the house and pool look wonderful!

And you're going to be a lot closer to Disneyland too!

Edited to add: Matterhorn Way???...No freakin' way!!!

Well, I adore your house and think you guys will be really happy there. Besides being closer to Disneyland you are not very far from "Cow Arts". We have to keep our little Imagineer happy.

blueerica · 04-18-2005, 08:17 PM

Awesome!! I'm so happy for you!

Sweet! I hope the housing market in Bakersfield is a bit cooler than it is in NorCal right now.

Darling, that is a DEAL where I'm from.

Yeah, but Sac isn't supposed to be this high. It's freaking Bay Area prices 90 miles from the ocean.
