never thought I would be able to afford a house, but things have changed dramatically the last years, all in a good way though, so earlier today I bought a home. As I believe in Karma, I must be doing something good ;)
3 story house with a garage on ground level, behind the garage is a room which overlooks the garden. That room will be my man cave, of course with walk-in humidor. Garden ends at a waterfront, so there will be a boat too ;)
first floor, kitchen and huge living room, balcony.
second floor: 2 bedrooms, home office and a bathroom.
I'll be getting the keys somewhere between march and july, then I'll start redecorating and building the walk-in humidor. Pics will be posted when I'm done

Congratulations! Welcome to Home Ownership where you will find out that houses are a "black hole" for money :)
Congrats Ferdie!! Sounds like a great house :tu

Sounds sweet bro. We've been lucky to live waterfront for the last 8 years and it is very cool.

Congrats Ferdie. I just bought a house myself in Texas.
A walk in humidor? I may have to return to Amsterdam for another herf in the future. I'm a bit overdue for one.
Excellent! Big congrats to you!

Congratulations Ferdinand and I know you must be stoked regarding this purchase! Positive thoughts and "what goes around comes around...":tu Big question is: When are you holding the big annual herf at YOUR place;)
That reminds me I haven't watched....in awhile...
Naaaah! Not that film Adam. Ferdinand needs to watch a rock solid classic, such as:

Can't believe I've never seen that, I'm a huge fan of that era of movies and actors, will be adding it to my list!
The two happiest days of home ownership, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Congrats Ferdi.

Congratulations. I know buying a house in The Netherlands is not cheap.

this sets me back for about 220,000 EURO and then I'll have to build the walk-in and, redo the bathroom and paint & wallpaper the house.
So no trips to the USA for me the coming years, except for february 2014 as that has already been booked and paid for.

Congrats brotha! I gotta come by and help stink it up. Is it still in the same area? I liked where your last apartment was at :tu

gonna be moving way sooner than expected. As soon as I get back from Nicaragua and Florida I will start construction (bathroom needs to be done, and a walk-in humidor needs to be build in the man cave). Expect to be moving last weekend of march.
