New Digs

So, this is where we live now...







I know.  Believe me, it's almost embarrassing to call ourselves "newlyweds."  We're supposed to be living in a shoebox apartment with a view of a brick wall, right?  Aren't these what they call the "leaner years?"  Well, yes, in a sense...We can't afford to furnish or landscape the place, or even hire someone to remove the sloppily-strewn icicle lights hanging outside.  (They were there when we moved in this past August and we can't even get them to work properly.)

The story is that we found a great deal and we had a choice to either stay "safe" in Bear Hollow for years to come OR sacrifice a little to make what could be a very lucrative investment for our future.  Grab the foreclosures when they're hot!  Bank off of someone else's misfortune!  So, we rolled the dice. After many months of throwing our line out with low-ball offers here and there and going back and forth on location location location, we ended up on top of a mountain (literally) in Pineridge after almost giving up the search altogether.

And now this is what we wake up to every day...



And go to sleep to every night...



And hike in the summer...



Yup, pretty much paradise.  We're going to enjoy it while it lasts.  Our windows really take advantage of the unbelievably gorgeous Toll Canyon views.  We try to have people over as often as possible to justify three people living in 6200 square feet.  We admit that it is WAY too big for us (a lot to clean), so someday when the market improves we may just downsize a bit...and hopefully our move will have paid off.  I'm not sure I want Liam growing up thinking this is a "normal" existence.

Now, we just need to get this place off of our hands.  Know anyone interested in purchasing a beautiful newer build at the base of the Olympic Park, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bath, gourmet kitchen, gas fireplace, access to clubhouse with pool, hot tub and exercise room, approximately 2290 sq/ft?  Best deal in Park City...(seriously.)  Give us a call!
