About a minute and a half from where we live today, jeanie spotted a
"For Sale" sign on a home that looks very nice. At our age, my first thought was that it's a little late in life to make a major move.... but after looking at the home, we see that it is available with all the furnishings shown, and is essentially in immediate move-in condition. Our oldest son at age 60, is eligible to move in to our current home, so no moving trauma.
We looked at our financial situation, and figured that after the down payment, we can afford to swing the purchase, and that hopefully the value of the home will stay the same or increase over the coming years, keeping our estate intact.
Without going in to too much detail, I guess I'm looking for your thoughts. It's kind of a bucket list item, and at age 83, we don't have a lot of time left.
The link is to the listing, and there are many photos (51) of the home and the interior rooms. It is on Baker Lake, the idyll location in our town.
