Did we just buy a house?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Nearly 5 months after putting in our offer on a short sale in Upper Fells Point, we’ve signed the papers. We can finally say its ours.<\/p>\n

The house is a standard narrow 3 story + basement brick row house in Baltimore, Maryland. Our real estate agent and friend Aldo Figueroa (www.realestatebyaldo.com<\/a>) showed us this house back in March. This was the first house we looked at. That’s right; we bought the first house we looked at.<\/p>\n

What sold us on it was the 30′ x 43′ back yard. Not big by suburban standards, but decent for Upper Fells Point. If we need more room to run, Patterson Park is but 5 blocks to the east. \u00a0Fells Point is a few blocks to the South. \u00a0And Johns Hopkins is a few blocks to the north (I hope I dont need to go there very often!).<\/p>\n
