We found it! It’s a 1977 ranch in Northglenn. It’s in our price range with new windows, new roof, new electrical panel, but needs to be updated. That’s perfectly OK with me because I can make it my own. We put in an offer and it was accepted. Nice deck and newer fence & gate.
We aren’t closed yet but I know this house is mine. I’ll be writing one more blog to this series which will be the story of updating a very tired kitchen and bath.
I prayed that if this was the house for us the rate would drop when we put in the offer. It did! We’re saving $1500 in the rate buy down which can be put toward closing costs.
We Found It! Our Perfect 1977 Ranch in Northglenn
I can hardly believe I’m writing this—we found it! After what feels like endless searching, countless showings, and some frustrating moments, we’ve finally found a house that fits our needs, our budget, and most importantly, our vision.
It’s a 1977 ranch in Northglenn, and while it’s definitely not perfect, it’s full of potential. The house has had some important upgrades: new windows, a new roof, a new electrical panel, and those were key factors for us. It means we’re not starting from scratch on those big-ticket items. However, the interior still needs a lot of work. The kitchen, the bathrooms—let’s just say they could use a little love. But honestly? That’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’m excited about the opportunity to update and truly make this place my own.
We put in an offer, and guess what? It was accepted! We are officially under contract. The house has a nice deck, a newer fence, and a gate—all of which are wonderful perks that make the outdoor space feel cozy and ready to enjoy.
While we haven’t closed yet, I already feel like this house is mine. I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities! I’m already planning how to transform the tired kitchen and bathroom into something fresh, functional, and stylish. You’ll definitely be hearing more about that in the next blog post, which will cover the entire process of updating these spaces.
One of the best things about this whole journey was that I prayed that if this was the right house for us, the rate would drop when we put in our offer. And it did! We ended up saving $1,500 in the rate buy-down, which we can put toward our closing costs. Talk about a blessing!
I’m so grateful and so excited for what’s to come. Stay tuned for the next post where I’ll take you through the process of turning this tired house into a home that reflects our personality and style. Until then, here’s to new beginnings, new opportunities, and a new chapter!
