We're in the bidding.
So quiet for a few days here. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Andreas mum's death. We went up to his (still very pregnant) sister and had dinner with the whole family. It was rough in parts but also a few laughs.
And a little snag in the plans came up friday when we got another flat-viewing for monday. The family did understand of course, they seem almost as excited as Andreas and me that we're moving closer to them, but to me it still felt a lot like it was encroaching on their day.
Anyway, we went, we liked, we told the agent we'd sleep on it and then we spent much of last night talking about it. How we LOVED the location but that there is a bit to do in the flat (but nothing too big either) and that it was still only our second viewing.
We've decided to put a bid in. We have a mid-stopping point and we'll see how the bidding is progressing how many bidders are still there and so on, and then we'll see if we really want to pay the REAL stopping point we have.
It's a 3 bedroom flat, first floor (but you still have to get up a small stair) very white atm and we need to do some painting and fix some stuff here and there (unmatched doorhandles on the kitchen cabinets for example) but the white is a good canvas for us to do whatever we want with it but not having to do a lot of groundwork. So here's a couple of photos: (I've decided to imageshak them instead of linking to the ad it self.)
1, Livingroom, very white and boring as is, but good blank canvas. At the top left corner you see a door, that leads to the kitchen, but the photo is taken from another door leading to the hallway.
2, Livingroom taken from the kitchen doorway. You see the third doorway in the room, that leads to one of the bedrooms (the blue one) and a small second toilet.
3, Kitchen, also very white but I sort of love the white here! I can SO see Andreas father's paintings on the walls, one on each side! Doors leads to livingroom to the right, and a bedroom on the right (the white one with wooden floors).
4, Kitchen seen from the opposite angle from before. Some stuff to do here. You see the door leading out to the hallway that has white clinker floor tiles (I love that, so easy to clean!), the hallways is also white with white closets.
5, Bathroom, the big one. Remodelled -08, heated floors!
6, Bathroom from the other angle. Also there is water and electricity already done if we want to put in a washer!
7, The smallest bedroom leading from the kitchen. Clean and white.
8, Bedroom leading from the hallway, behind the wall with all the shelfs in livingroom. Don't particularly like the floor, but it looks better in person than in the photo at least. Lots of closets on the wall you can't see here.
9, Bedroom, the one you see a little of from the livingroom photo. Very blue. Needs fixing.
10, Balcony with evening sun!
Here's an extra, the floor plan, but it's not 100% correct.
Atm we have the winning bid, but the agent is calling us back tomorrow, we'll see :)
