Finally closed on my new house - Pic Heavy

After fighting / looking / etc. for almost 2 years now I can finally say that I am a homeowner. Closed on it yesterday afternoon and already starting on the updating. Will hopefully be putting new carpet in the bedroom this week and some laminate flooring in the living room / bar room tomorrow (depending on if we can get the flooring we want by then). Then hopefully getting a fence put up in the very near future. The house is roughly 1600 sq ft on Vly road (small section between Central and 155). Lot size is 2 full acres:excited:banana. Garage is an oversized 2 car with a back roughly 8’ deep workshop (aka bike / mower garage).
On to the pics:

Can’t wait to get started on fixing this place up. And thanks to how ridiculously cheap we got the house, anything I put into it will almost definitely come back to me if we sell it.

very nice , very nice. The large yard is a nice feature as well as all the parking space you have , i love that feature .

Looks like you got plenty of space to expand your garage if you wanted to :thumbup

Hope Colonie cops won’t mind when we set up a dirt bike course in the backyard :slight_smile: I shall be over after work to help with the move in buddy!

I know this house from riding my dirtbike on the powerlines, lol. Nice man!

Congrats man! I hopefully close on my new place next week or so, exciting times.

Cool story PJB.

I hate your guts GREG. lol

I plan on utilizing those powerlines in the winter… lol

I’m in! I’ll come from the lines :ninja

Kenny congrats as it’s been said when the other houses fell threw, there are always better ones out there.

Two full acres and a huge garage like that in colonie is a gold mine.

Very very nice place, and it will only get better after you’re done with it.

One thing though, from what I heard it won’t be too easy to expand the garage without fighting the town. But it’s pretty damn big as it sits!

Congrats man!

Pretty close to my place, if you need an extra hand moving let me know. :thumbup

Nice man. Good to see it finally worked out for you. Now you have room for all those projects lol

CONGRATS MAN! You earned it!!! Enjoy it, invest in it wisely and all will be good.

looks very nice. Hopefully I’ll be closing on my house same time next month.

I would have bought that if it was available recently. Its exactly what I am looking for. I saw the list price, how much below that did you get it for?

BADASS dude congrats!!!

Colonie buddieyzzz. Nice dude!!!

I used to live at 14 Vly The street is hardly patrolled so I wouldn’t worry about cops too much. The street is a little busy but its not terrible. Enjoy it man, congrats on finally closing!!

Congratulations!

Very nice! Congrats on your purchase.
