Sold our House

2698 Beverly St House

At the end of March we sold our house in Sugarhouse. It was very bittersweet feeling. We had finally finished remodeling the house but really wanted to move to a bigger house that was not on a busy street. We also wanted a house that had a 2 car garage. It was a crazy month in March packing everything up and getting it out of the house. One week before we were supposed to sign the papers the buyers backed out of the deal. Our house was half packed away in a storage unit and the other half in boxes still. It was a crushing to have that happen. Then 3 days later the real estate agent contacted ours and said they still want to buy the house....we believe that they came out again looking for a house but couldn't find anything like ours and for the price we were selling it for. We extended the date that we had to move out by but kept the closing date the same. We spent our last night at Beverly St on April 5th, 2011. Then next day we finished moving at around 10pm that night. As we drove away from the house, the tears started coming. I was so sad to leave that house!!! Steve had owned that house since 1999 and I had lived there since 2004....it was really hard to realize that we wouldn't be coming back to the house. Everything we put into that remodel was perfect. We loved the way we did the kitchen, the bathrooms and the colors in the house! That house will always have a special place in my heart!! It was my first home I shared with my husband.

We spent a month living with Steve's Grandma while we found a house and put an offer in. We closed at the end of April and started moving in May 1st. Our new place is almost twice as large as the last home, has a 2 car garage, a beautiful backyard, a swimming pool, quiet neighborhood and no backyard neighbors. It's a great home but needs a little of our magic touch! We are adding color and hardwood flooring to the house.
