During the night this house came online. I really like it. Again we could each have a floor. But my sister thinks Gouda is too far away. Also it's got energy label D, we're aiming for C or up, but at €375,000 you've got room to improve that. |
OOOKAY, are you kidding? That house and you keep €75K of your dough? That's a lovely spot, really. Gouda...besides meaning "cheese," what does that mean to the rest of us? How "far" is that? (I will no doubt be scathing, because IME, European and US-East-Coast concepts of "far away" and "close" and all that are wildly, massively different than those of us who live in the US West/Southwest. Not making fun of people, really but, it's true, it's all what you're used to.)
I recall well my siblings telling me that for them to drive 17-20 miles to go to my mother's house, to put in some time cleaning it and all that was "too far," but hey, it wasn't too far for me to fly 2500 miles, each way, to do the same thing.
So, how far IS Gouda? And think about it--that distance from newly-retired Mum and Dad, with whom you now need to establish all new boundaries and all that--that might be very very very handy.
ETA: Wait, 25 klicks? Is that right?
That's how far away it is? OR is Google letting me down? If it's only 25k GURLS, don't be silly. I
literally drive that far to run to my drugstore, for crying out loud.
LOVELY little place. Leap on it, Rumpel!
