Big news! We officially put our house on the market last week! All of the hard work we’ve put in the past 3 weeks has totally paid off – it looks bright and fresh and is ready for it’s big debut! I have no doubt that it’ll sell quickly, and we can make our final transition from the Suburbs to a life of Sailing.
We thought it would be fun to see the before & after pics and reflect a bit on this time in our lives. Had we know 5 years ago when we bought the house that we’d be selling it to buy a boat and go sailing, we’d think we were crazy. Isn’t it funny how life just works out that way? I’m sure we’ll be sitting on our boat in the bright blue waters of the Caribbean one day reflecting back on the house and our time in the suburbs, imagining a life that would be very different from our current course.
So, without further ado..
Here’s the house when we first bought it back in 2009 (not sure why is has 2013 MRIS on the photos!). 100 Hatton Drive. Pretty much zero curb appeal going on here. In fact, I almost didn’t get out of the car it was so ugly. Come to find out that it was actually painted pink back when it was built in 1960, so I guess the algae green was sort of an upgrade. Take a look at the ivy starting to grow up the left side of the house. I guess that was considered the “garden”?
