Looks like we might be homeowners!

We still have a few things to finalize before it's all official but if all goes well, we will be moving soon!
We have an offer that's been accepted and we're signing the paperwork for the Purchase Agreement tonight when Chris gets off work.
Inspection scheduled for Friday - if there are any discrepencies, then we can get out of the agreement but we're pretty confident that the house is solid! It's already had an inspection by the city and everything cleared.
Document signing at the lender next Tuesday.
Possible closing date of April 2nd...

Specs on the house:
4 BR, 2 BA
1847 finished sq ft
attached two car garage
2 living areas on the main level - one has a stone fireplace w/ carpet, the other has newly refinished wood floors. The fireplace room has brand new neutral carpet and sliding glass doors that lead to the nice-sized deck and ample back yard. All bedrooms have wood floors as well as the dining space. The kitchen has neutral tile.
Basement has a laundry room w/ storage and workbench, a room that we will be using as a play area and then a very large room for guests - lots of closet space down there. The house has brand new electrical throughout and recently new furnace, water heater, and roof. Entire upstairs has fresh, neutral paint.
One bathroom is on the main level and the other in the basement. They both have a very 50's vibe (house built in 1957) but could be projects for the future.
The kitchen has a brand new stove and dishwasher. Cabinets and laminate counters are in good condition.
Exterior is fairly new maintenance-free vinyl siding and some brick. There is a flag pole in front yard so let me know if you see any interesting flags out there?! Also, nicely maintained landscaping.
The whole house is clean and has been very well maintained by it's one owner. It's an estate so the woman must have recently passed away and her 3 kids (one son in particular) updated a lot of the home.
Less than 2 blocks away is a great park and the neighborhood seems full of families! All of the homes are very nice and pridefully maintained.

We are very excited to be home owners! This house will be very comfortable for our family and we're ready to feel settled for awhile :-)
We feel blessed to have had things go well so far and hope it continues throughout the weeks to come.

Looking forward to a house-warming party this spring!!
