The other placed balked again, after a formal offer, OK, whatever, so done with the Battle Creek nonsense. I saw a place late last night I’d never seen before out of hubris. When I started this process I knew I lived in one of the say five most popular buildings to live in in downtown JC. I thought I’d just toss my listing out and go collect a giant check. It didn’t work out that way so my pricepoint in Michigan dropped. I think I looked at two of these units in middle summer, nice price and good size but they showed poorly, not bad, I was just thinking I was holding out for more. I just skipped the whole subdivision at that point. This one wasn’t online last time I checked this neighborhood. It’s housing that sprung up around the old Wurtsmith AFB in Oscoda Michigan. The Air Force closed it but it’s not a private airfield. The neighborhood has only names of states in it, this unit is on Alaska St. I was like a kid at Christmas seeing it last night. It’s GREAT. It has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The master bedroom will stay as master, the pink bedroom will be repainted and used as spare bedroom and empty bedroom will be used at library/reading room/kids room for when they visit. I hated having nothing to do as a kid at my grandparents and aunts and uncles, I want kids to have a cool place. Books, DVDs, beanbag chairs, ebook readers, anything cool they want.
The back garden area backs up to state forest land which then empties into the Huron National Forest so there will be no construction behind me there EVER EVER
First off, Oscoda, on Lake Huron
Onto the place. Agent doing a double check but dogs are allowed and he can find no weight restrictions, only ‘dog must remain on leash’ or ‘dog must not create a nuisance’ and I WANT this place to retire in. Gas cooking too
