House 2 for 2 and 2


After 2 months of searching for a home in Long Beach, Chris and I found our new home-to-be in Austin in just 2 days. The first day of hunting was back in June when we were in town for an exploratory visit. August 2nd, the 2nd day in town as newbie Austinites (well, I'm the only newbie really--Chris and the cats have lived here before) we did day number 2 of hunting and found 2 houses that we loved and could see ourselves living in happily. One was a beautifully done turn-key in Crestview with nothing but a mud and concrete slab of a yard, the 2nd was 4506 Oakmont, a 1953 house with a great layout and beautiful landscaping. After much debate, we went with house #2 due to its great neighborhood in central Austin, award winning elementary school, superior layout, and intimidatingly fabulous yard.


It is with that, that I introduce 4506 Oakmont Blvd: House #2 for Amy, #1 for Chris, where 2 humans and 2 cats will reside.
