After Christine's wedding in Houston, I went to Birmingham with my mom and later Joe to look for a house! We've narrowed our choices to 3 in Forest Park, an in-town neighborhood that feels like Inman Park that we really like:
- -3600 Cliff Road - Lovely view of the whole city & golf course, great street, but 100 years old (so future repairs likely) and only 1.5 bathrooms
- -731 Linwood Street - Great neighborhood, fully renovated house with really nice touches, but yard and driveway not done and no view
- -1200 42nd Street - Stunning country styled home, but too expensive
Not sure what to do next! Hmmmmmm.....
Our real estate agents, Lee Marks & Mildred Knight with Realty South were fantastic. They knew everyone around town and were so gracious with their time and support. We ate at V Richards - a gourmet grocery store like Whole Foods each day too and walking distance to all of the houses. The weather was awesome too - sunny and bright each day except one.
Today, we spent Easter at my mom and stepdad's house and lots of family came over to celebrate too. It was a beautiful day and a great trip home. Now I'm back to London and its just 3 more weeks until I move permanently!
