Actually, I haven't thought of buying a house yesterday afternoon. Wenshen and I justfound this house on Saturday afternoon. We like its location very much. This house is very close to the MRT 都會公園站. It takes 3-min walk from the house to the MRT station and 5-min walk to the Metropolitan Park.
However, this house is 店住型透天厝, which is not my first choice. Besides, the price ($12.8m) is too high for our budget. But Wenshen likes the big size of its land (40坪) and he would like to build additional rooms and a backyard on the land. This idea on the one side attracts me very much, but on the other I'm concerned about the big money we have to spend on this house.
We took my mom-in-law to look at the house on Sunday afternoon. To my surprise, she likes this house and its location too, so Wenshen decided to make an offer at $9m and then a deal was made within half an hour. The whole process went very smoothly and quickly. I even feel it was not real! I paid $0.1m as a downpayment and then we signed the contract with the construction company right away.
Am I excited? Surely I am, but I also have some concerns about the total cost, It'll be more than $11m for the additional construction, interior decoration, and furniture. It is indeed a big amount of money! Now it has 4 floors and the space of the house is about 69坪. We'd like to have the living room, the kitchen, and a big backyard on the 1st floor, the bedroom and the study room on the 2nd floor, and we still have two rooms each on the 3rd and the 4th floors.
It is great that this house will be completely designed by Wenshen and me! It is also sweet for us to have a house where he and I will be living together after we've been married for almost 20 years!
築巢的夢即將落實，的確是令人興奮! 尤其是在我們結婚20周年時，擁有一個自己的房子，也真算是件極為浪漫的事吧!
