How To Find The Perfect Home When You Like So Many Different Things

[dansdrive]

Let's start with 'Perfect' satisfying all requirements. Looking over your list the simple answer IMHO is NO. Things are subject to change of coarse but our relative lifetime is typically shorter than the change that would be needed to meet all your requirements. So with reluctance and trying to find someplace that would work for you I must reiterate a NO to your question. Sorry.

I can't remember the name of the place right across from where Morrisville Parkway dumps out on Davis (note that work on poking MP thru to Louis Stephens is supposed to start in the fall). BUT, there is also Grace Park at the corner of Morrisville-Carpenter and Davis (next to the Dairy Queen and Quiznos). Looks like this will be upscale condos?

WRG, I missed this thread earlier, but I would also vouch for Stone Creek. We have biked through there recently and been very impressed. You can access excellent greenways just across High House. You are close enough to 55 to get to the Greenways there, too.

But the best thing of all would be that you'd be only about a mile from our new house in Somerset - that's reason enough to buy on the spot! LOL.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

My address will be as follows:

10 No Kids Way
Seattle, WA 98101

Please feel free to stop by anytime with the ALL the kids...........

Yes, I saw those. I would not want to buy a condo, as I want an outdoor feel, with some yard. Also, it seems quite busy and open there. Stone Creek seems more country like, yet near many things.

Well, now that I know this, I guess I will buy. Thanks.

It looks like a little European Village, like a well protected enclave with easy access to multiple shops, restaurants etc. There will be a total of 98 homes when complete. There are about 8-10 more homes left to built, to be completed in the Fall. We were lucky to find a re-sale. Actually, when we looked, they were 3 re-sales and all sold rather quickly.

ljd1010, I drove through Stone Creek on the way home today and saw the moving van taking the sellers items away from your new home as of tomorrow. Good luck with the move and please provide feedback on living there once you are in. I really would like to hear what it is like, compared to what you think it will be like. I am looking forward to hearing all about it.

Have fun and enjoy!!!

Thanks for the good wishes WRG - we're busy packing for the second time in 6 weeks! I also rode by today and saw the moving van - told you I "stalk" the place. I promise I'll fill you in on all the details once we're settled.....
