However, at 2.63 acres, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and just under 1200 sq ft we were ecstatic we found it. \u00a0Amusingly, we would often drive by the area and comment about how we wish one of those houses would go up for sale as we would like to buy\u00a0one\u00a0for the land. And, specifically, this property was the one\u00a0I\u00a0always looked at it because it had the last amount of trees and was the biggest property in the area. \u00a0And now we have it!\n<p>Here are some pictures of what shape it was in when we first bought it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
