What I Want in a Home
Terry,
I’ll be visiting Philly between May 20th and June 3rd to look at properties. Not sure if I want to see this one yet or not. I must look at a map to figure out where Tasker Street is.
I am looking to buy a home in the Philly and surrounding areas that meets the following specifications:
* 2 – 4 bedrooms
* Has either a garage or basement for storage, although the more bedrooms it has, the less need for a garage or basement.
* Single, duplex, or row home on an end
* Within a fifteen minute walk of bus or train stops
* Within a fifteen minute walk of a grocery store
* Not along a major road, but within a few blocks of one.
* Price range between $50,000 and $125,000
* Must be very quiet (I am a writer)
What I don’t need in a home are the following:
* A big lot, yard, or trees
* A “good” view
* Tennis courts or swimming pools
* Condo fees
* Neighbors living above or below me
About me:
I am vision impaired, and so, do not drive a car. So, a place easily accessible to good public transportation (including Saturdays and Sundays) is a must. A bigger grocery store such as Acme, Shop ‘n’ Bag, Fresh Fields, or Path Mark should be in walking distance (within a mile).
Would you know of a realtor who would be interested in helping me find my ideal home?
