We haven't really been looking seriously but have been casually looking around waiting on finding good land or a perfect house. We are in no rush, my only plan was to be in THE house before Stella is in Kindergarten which legit gives me 5 years since she misses cutoff by 15 days.
Anyways my mom sent me this listing, it went on the market Monday, we looked at it last night and I am in love. Its a great walkable neighborhood in the same town as my mom. Good schools, good bones, recently updated. They are taking offers up to an open house Sunday and I think it will be competitive but its 100k under our max budget so we are thinking we will make a pretty aggressive offer? TBD. But look at these pics!! 4beds, 2.5 bath, flat yard, 2 car garage, nice deck, the details and the floors and the window casings. LOVE.
Did you find a unicorn of a house that it is affordable, in a walkable neighborhood, and has good public schools on the island or are you looking to the west bay again?

This is outside of the original towns I talked about and off the island. I wish this was on the island! It is in my hometown.

It's beautiful! I love me some clapboard siding Good luck! ETA: Looks like a beautiful home that has lots of character, but is updated. We bought an older home last year that has been updated some, but not completely and it has been SO expensive to maintain in the last year. I wish we would've thought about that before buying.
