House Anniversary

15 Hillside Terrace Hingham, MA 02043
*
We closed on our house two years ago. It is hard to believe that we have already been here for two years. The house has really changed since we first looked at it.
*
We looked at our house for the first time in April of 2006 and we ran away scared. Then after looking around Hingham we decided that 15 Hillside might not be too bad after all. We looked at the house several more times and then we showed my parents the house to get their opinion. To our surprise they thought it looked like a good fixer upper. After a lot of thought we put in our first offer at the end of June 2006. They countered but we did not counter back. We were a little sad but also a little relieved because we knew the house would be a lot of work. So for the next 6 weeks we looked at what seemed like very single house in Hingham. We kept asking our realtor about the status of 15 Hillside. During the six weeks they got an offer but it fell through. Then at the beginning of August we asked our realtor again about the house and she said that they just had an offer but she was not sure if it was going to stick. Then later that day she called and said that the offer fell through and the sellers wanted to know if we were still interested. We put in an offer and within 15 minutes it was accepted. Now it is two years later and we are so happy that everything worked out. The house has changed a lot in the past two years and we really feel at home here. Take a look at the progress we have made
