At least, that’s what we’re hoping for.
This place just fell in to our price range yesterday, and J emailed the agent as soon as I found it late last night. Full of high hopes (and a rather large dash of desperation) we actually arranged for a viewing first thing today and asked her to have the paperwork organized just in case. The photos and specs were just that good.
It has everything we want and kicks the proverbial arse out of everything else we’ve looked at so far. The master bedroom is well away from the others and has it’s own balcony with a pretty view of the mountains (for some reason mountain views in Vegas always surprise me - I think it has to do with that whole ‘middle of the desert’ thing). The section isn’t huge but it’s big enough for our needs and we can put our own stamp on it since it has no landscaping. The carpeting upstairs needs cleaned, there’s the odd spot in need of a paint touch up and it requires window treatments (which is a bonus in my book - I think ours will be the only place in Vegas with net curtains and drapes!), but other than that, it’s in great condition.
My only bug 2 bug bears are the colour of the carpets in the bedrooms (wine - ick!) and the bloody big cut out windows - one between the living room and family room and another in the loft wall overlooking the living room, though the latter is a bug bear in general. Seriously, how can they be advertised as ‘separate’ when there’s bloody big holes in the walls or the wall doesn’t go all the way to the ceiling? Even with those complaints, the cutouts are infinitely workable with this particular layout and my husband and kids are pigs, so the wine carpets may go a long way toward hiding their drips and slips.
As of 10am this morning (Vegas time) there were no other offers and ours was in by lunch. We’ve gone in fractionally over asking with no conditions, so fingers crossed! If this doesn’t work, I think even the agent will be handing us a couple of cardboard boxes and pointing us in the direction of the nearest bridge.
