After reading the above posts… you may be wondering… “Did you find a place? Are you going to live in a box? Will you have to dig a hole and create a series of tunnels to be able to park your car?” … Or you might not be wondering these things… but… in any case… here in the last installment… you’ll find out where we ended up… so.. grab your popcorn and a soda.. and stay tuned.
Ok.. so.. this actually came earlier in the day… but in order for the flow of the posts to make sense… we’ll say that this happened latest…
So… upon starting the search for a place to live… I thought I knew what I wanted… I wanted a house #1… townhouse #2… or apartment / condo #3…. however.. the houses we looked at… well.. weren’t the most exciting… but… on the other hand… we looked at a rather nice townhouse… it’s located here….
hmmm…. so.. that patch of trees to the left of Seth Drive…… towards the top… there are 6 buildings there now.. with 10 townhouses in each one… Google Maps is a little bit behind with their satellite images… but… the townhouses are just outside of Staunton on 252…. just under 2 miles from Virginia’s office at Mary Baldwin….
All brand new appliances in a nice big kitchen….
A small back porch with a view of the mountains and room enough for my grill…..
2 Large bedrooms…
A full bath upstairs… and a half bath downstairs…
and a nice, large living room off of the kitchen, as soon as you walk into the place….
Here’s the kicker… the place has NEVER been lived in…. it’s got a heat pump for heating and cooling… and since it’s modern construction, heating and cooling costs should be relatively low… also, there is a “garden apartment” below us.. so in the winter, our floors should be heated by the people below us… so… we’re pretty excited about the new place… looking forward to making the move… once we make the move and get all settled in.. we’ll be sure to distribute the address accordingly… but… if you’re in the Staunton area, and want to drive by and take a look at where we’ll be living… the name of the complex is Windgate… and it’s just off of 252 on Seth Drive….
