I have a condo!

I was getting pretty upset and depressed about not finding the right thing for me to move yet my sale date on my house was looming closer and closer.  Early last week, I decided to search the MLS again from scratch to see if I had missed anything.  Low and behold, a condo came up down the street from me.  It has been on the market off and on since 2013!  It had been under contract twice but fell out just the week before. So I called my realtor Bob and asked him to take me to see it that afternoon!

It is on Parleys way in Sugarhouse.  When I worked at Blue Cross, the building was on that  street so I know it very well.  They were built in 2007 and are considered luxury condos in the Country Club neighborhood.  I remember when they were built and over the years, I had thought how cool it would be to live there.  But they were expensive.  And I always had a place to live already when one would come on the  market.

Much to my luck, this one is on the first floor with 2 patios.  It had 9 foot ceilings, 2 bedrooms and a den.  3 bathrooms too.  Underground parking with 2 spaces and an elevator from the parking.  Sounds perfect and indeed, it was pretty close.  The only thing I was concerned about is there wasn't a coat closet in the entryway.  It appears they made the coat closet a 1/2 bath.  Being right on Parley's way, there is some traffic noise but Parley's way does quiet down at night and it isn't horrible.  Close access to the freeway is a bonus and it is still in the area so my patterns don't need to change much.  The hardest adjustment will be learning to live in 1/2 the house.  But that would have been the deal no matter where I went.  I've been trying to figure out what is going with me and what is going away.  I am also going to have to figure out how to lay out the furniture in the living area as it is smaller than I am used too.

Here is a link to the listing.  I'm not sure how long it will be listed but peek if you can.  I am closing 4/21 and moving that weekend!  EEEEEKKKKK!
