After work tonight we looked at 3 homes for sale in Cross Plains. The first one, and the one we liked the most, is pictured. It sort of stands out in the neighborhood, it is light green with tan and maroon trim, and rocks. It is a 3 bedroom home with a nicely finished basement that includes an office area.
There is a lot of very nice woodwork inside this home, they did not go cheap here. We were concerned about the small size of the bedrooms, as listed on the Internet. To our surprise, the rooms were plenty large and the master was very nice. None of the homes we looked at had great bathrooms, but none were really bad.
The other two homes we looked at we ruled out completely. The second one, on Tilda Trail was actually a nice place, but had no backyard at all, at least none that would make the dogs happy. The view was nice, backing up to DNR land and steep hills.
The last home was on American Legion drive, and we all agreed that it sucked. It looks like rental property. The quality of materials was poor, it was too small, and just a bit ugly. It did have a few nice things, but the bad far outweighs the good.
The first home is quite nice, but is only $15,000 less than the 4 bedroom home across the street, and that home has 600 more square feet. We are going to look at it Thursday evening, and tomorrow evening are looking at a FSBO home on Lewis Street.
