Our house is a very, very fine house...

We are anticipating our departure from Indiana in the next 5-6 months, and so, we are trying to get our house in condition to sale it. On the day we closed we began a quick but nice job of repainting and carpeting, exchanging yellow walls and orange carpet for more neutral colors. Since then (almost 4 years later) some little scuffs, and children's crayon markings have made their marks on our walls and therefore our house has become a home.

However, we need to have a yard sale before we can touch up on the paint, and have some light carpentry work done. Kris and I are hoping that March 21st and 22nd will be a weekend of descent weather so we can begin selling various items including furniture, clothes, and baby things.

We are also hoping to sale our house without a real estate agent, and therefore, we're looking to give someone a good deal for our home. Maybe some beginning Ph.D. student and his/her family with several long years of schooling ahead of them or anyone else who would enjoy a less expensive home with some great space and potential.

Here are some specs on our home:

• Approximately 1750 finished square feet
• 4 bedrooms (2 master suites, one up and one down with connecting bathrooms)
• 3 baths (1 full and 2 3/4 baths)
• 2 car garage
• Double pane windows throughout
• Lots of light in the basement
• Nice, fenced in back yard with wood deck against back fence
• Trim recently (in last 8 months) painted and weather-proofed
• Safe, lit neighborhood, great for taking walks in
• Newly built elementary school nearby
• Close to 2 walking/running/biking trails
• 1 1/2 miles from the local YMCA
• About 10 minutes from downtown and IU campus
• Bloomington has a relatively low cost of living!!!
