Our New House in Lake Elmo

We finally signed the papers for the new house in Lake Elmo. We almost didn’t close because the relocation company hadn’t signed their HUD settlement paperwork. That’s a piece of paper that tells everyone how much they owe and what credits they have.

Most of the things in our apartment have already been moved over to the new house. Tomorrow we return the apartment keys.

Here are some pictures of the new house. It needs painting to match our taste better but we don’t need to do it right away.

We were quite surprised to see that we had a lake view as it was not mentioned anywhere. We’ll be trimming a few trees to get more of the lake view.

Main floor guest room

It’s a little odd that the guest room is tiled to match the tiles in the main floor bathroom. Across from the guest room is a two-person shower – again, another surprise as we hadn’t noticed it when we first viewed the house.

A tree house for the young at heart

The sellers left us champagne with 2 glasses

We’ll have to christen the house with this champagne much as one would christen a boat.

We also have deeded access to a lake. It’s a small area but it’s sandy so one can go and sit, swim or take a canoe out in the lake. Or — one could fish.

Now we wait for our furniture to arrive from Seattle in 10 days or so.

    1. Yes, there are even windows underneath the cabinets in the kitchen. The property itself has lots of trees so they had to put in a lot of windows for the light. I like the sunshine here.
