Selling our first Home

We have decided to sell our first home. This condo has served us well for almost 11 years. Now that we have Angela in our family the two bedrooms is not enough especially when we have family visiting (they seem to visit more frequently now that we have Angela :-). Wish us luck and send anyone you know our way who is in the market to buy a condo.
The location is the first thing that caught our attention about our condo. It is an upper end corner unit overlooking O'Neill Park and does not have a condo feel to it. With our new windows there is no noise or extreme temperatures like there was before.
We have the nicest neighbors and wish that we could take them with us when we move.
This is Angela's room which overlooks O'Neill Park. We added a ceiling fan, moldings, painted the room, replaced the carpet, added window treatments and replaced the window.
This is Angela's bathroom with lots of storage space and a full bathtub/shower. We painted, added moldings, replaced the toilet, replaced the flooring, put in new light fixtures/fans, new faucet, new hardware and added a cute little decorative hook rack (Andy made it and did a wonderful job, not pictured, you will just have to come over and see it).This is the master bathroom with two sinks, separate tub and shower and extra storage/linen cabinets. We painted, had the shower reglazed, replaced the shower door, replaced the light fixtures, added a second medicine cabinet, replaced the toilet, new flooring, moldings, door, and hardware. I don't know if I will be able to get another bathroom this spacious in my next home.This is the master bedroom with new ceiling fan, paint, molding, door, carpet and a lovely new sliding glass door that leads to one of our balcony's. My mother in law and I made the drapery's.This is the beautiful view from our master bedroom balcony.This is our living room with new paint, carpet, molding, fireplace, mantle (Andy made it and did a wonderful job), ceiling fan, windows, and window treatments. I love how open, light and bright everything is.This is our kitchen with new paint, hardware, flooring, faucet, and my favorite dishwasher (Merry Christmas to us).The kitchen as seen from the dining room.

Looks great, Megan. You and Andy have it looking wonderful. Good luck! I hope you get your asking price - and that it sells quickly.

What she said, but also that there is no moving far away involved.

You are in a really nice area and have a beautiful little condo-nice size kitchen too! I hope it sells quickly for you! Some days, I wish we had purchased in an area that had a community pool-although I LOVE my house, that is a nice added feature! Good luck, and have fun looking for a new place!
