So we bought! Finally! In Larchmont. After a frenzied spring market due to low inventory, lots of potential bidders all looking for essentially the same thing - we decided upon a fixer upper in a good location within walking distance to school and the village. The house needs a lot of different things but we'll live in it for a year before we start the renovation and expansion project and in the meantime finalize architectural plans, bidding, building permits etc.... Hard not to start planning the details of kitchens and baths already - the fun stuff - even without the final floor plans established. It will be a learning process for sure, but we're looking forward to it and excited to learn and be fully invested in the project. We hope to close on the house next month, spend June doing some repairs and cleaning to get it ready for a move in early July - right after baby #3 is born.... right, because that has to happen too. Sometime I forget with all the summer plans and schedules in full swing.We'll likely split our time between Larchmont and East Hampton with Maya attending some camp in both locations. We've been planning this move for quite some time it's nice to be finally making some headway and have something concrete in the works. Maya is enrolled in kindergarten and Laila will be starting a 2's program a couple mornings a week at a nearby preschool. Between researching contractors and different service companies, schools and after school activities - and at some point a babysitter - we certainly have a lot in the works.
In the meantime we are enjoying some well deserved milder temperatures after an eternal winter and the outdoor activities that it allows. We'll miss our neighborhood and the great friends we have made here but we're excited about the next chapter as well.
