V FAM first home

Hey friends!!

Boricua and I have been busily in the process of buying a home and we finally got most of it done! We took advantage of the market and bought a historic home for a stellar price. It was worth it to us. Our mortgage will be much less than renting a two bedroom apartment and it's a house we will own.

We will like the location, as it is nestled right in the Salt LAke City Metropolitan area and it's a walking distance to the Gateway Mall. (To those of you not from Utah, The Gateway Mall is an outdoor mall with several shops, movie theatre, children's museum, IMAX theatre restaurants, a water play area, etc..) Not only will be have a little home with a fenced yard, but we will have the diversity and the pros of living in the City. :)
This home was built in 1901 and is made of solid brick. It has four, yes four chimneys but one is only used. It still has a coal shoot but it's not used, obviously. It has the original doors and crown molding. But it has new carpet and tile and a pretty redone kitchen!

We are excited and felt this was a perfect starter home for us. We can build equity and move on up in a few years! I'm confident we'll be pretty comfortable there! I'm super excited to paint and fix it up my way!!

We close on January 26!!! Boricua's Birthday!!! yippee!!

Love you all
