It's a nice area but the older part of it so this house is small 3 bedroom. Living room is 15x13. No dining room. Hardly any counter space. One small bathroom. Does have a fenced in yard though. Nice with hardwood floors. The thing that worries me the most is one bathroom. That being said, I really want to own. I'm 40 and never have. It's just my husband and I and 2 dogs. Is it better to find a big house for less and commute for an hour or 2 in traffic. Or live small in a higher priced area and have a shorter commute? I get up at 5 as it is to exercise for 30 minutes. I don't want to spend more time in the car.
Smaller and closer is better, you can always convert a bedroom into a 2nd bathroom or if they connect make 2 into a bigger one and put a 3/4 bathroom in.
Yes smaller and closer gets my vote as well because you can always knock a wall out or hire someone to do that and add on to your house say another bath or so and there you have it and yes what a waist sitting in a car .
smaller and closer for me too but not so small that it's not functional. If there is no dining room, is there an eat in kitchen? or are you supposed to make a 15x13 room work as a combination living/dining room?
Since it's just the two of you....definitly less commute.
PS we had a three bedroom one bathroom where we made a closet on the first floor into a bathroom. Actually expanding the closet into the house a bit more so that it had the commode, sink and tub. Evenso, go for the shorter commute. Life's too short.
