Hooray for not needing to search for months to find a place to live for the year we will be in Washington. This was the first house I've seen pop up for rent that fit into our time window - available July 1 and we report on August 1. Although it doesn't have the ideal 5 bedrooms that we would like, one of the four bedrooms was actually two bedrooms that the builder made into one larger (long) bedroom.
I wanted to be close to the interstate to help ease the commute time but we decided that the additional commute time was worth getting the kids into a good school. This house is only 10 houses away from the school grounds, which was another reason we decided to go for it. I don't really want the kids riding the school bus -- like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get (didn't want the kids to be forced to sit by someone who might be a bad influence.)
House details: 4 bedroom, double car garage, with a FENCED IN BACKYARD!!!! There is a den/office, a formal dining area (which we have decided we will turn into the music/formal sitting area), upgraded kitchen which opens up to the living room, a walk-in pantry (YES!!!), a walk-in closet in the master bed (YES!!!), a seperate laundry room (SWEET!!! - I hate looking at the pile of laundry that grows on my bathroom floor now), extra shop/storage area in the back of the garage, and a driveway (YES, YES, YES !!!! - no more fighting for a parking space and having others hit our car with their doors.)
We know the home is not exactly what we wanted, but since we are only going to be there for one year, we figured if we could make this apartment in Germany work, we can definitely make this house work.
