Above are photos of a country home currently for sale on Zillow.com
on an acre of land located down a dirt
road in Southern Maryland. It’s a
foreclosure that is in of needs some work.
When I first saw these pictures I knew that this was the type of home I
have been looking for, as I looked at these pictures I began to dream how I
would improve the home and land to make it my own.
I have put together a vision book of how I would like my country
home to be inside and outside; included in my vision book is information about where items can be purchase
either new or from a reuse/salvage stores.
While the deco and a garden is important there are some other items that
needs some thought such as crime rate in the area, home security, home loans,
grants to assist with home renovations. Also
deciding whether the area I wish to live will meet my needs, to make this
decision I will need to get a map of the area and then making several visits to
get the lay of the land. This will help
me to visualize where the stores, hospital, police and fire station, library,
schools, community college, churches are located.
All of that’s the easy part I feel, but what am having a
hard time is to prepare the old house for sale. Currently there are over 400
homes for sale and 11 rental homes. The
market for selling a home in my current area is not the best. I continue making repairs and small updates
as funds are available to do so. By God’s grace, I hope to be able to sell my current home in
the near future as I am ready for a new adventure in my life!
