Finally! Closed on Friday. Closing costs were a few thousand more than expected, but I'm finally in the new house. Old house is already rented and occupied by my tenants.

3 bedroom, LR, DR, kitchen, office, 1 bath, Florida room, large 2 car attached garage,
nice sized barn, 16 acres w/ slate bottomed stream... 44K

Heating system needs work, so we put in a nice coal stove (like a pellet stove - looks like a wood stove, glass front, etc.). I always forget how heavy a cast iron stove is. The house was 13 degrees when we arrived yesterday. I left the coal stove going on high last night - it was over 100 degrees in the dining room this morning. Niiiiiice 🙂 (and, it cost less to heat that house for 1 day from colder than ice to 100 than it costs to heat my old house with natural gas for a day at 65 degrees)

Water on Tuesday, then we move in. (hopefully the water goes smoothly - getting the well tested, etc.) I've gotta install a water softener for it probably.
 
Pics are coming soon... gotta figure out a way to upload the pics. I'm at the in-laws house til we complete the move. I won't have phone (or more importantly internet access) until the 11th. At the moment, I'm at school, doing school work, grad work - I have no way of going from camera to computer here. 🙁
 
44k is sick. My parents have 1.33 acres outside a small town called Selma, CA and their house/property is probably worth about 250-300k.

What the heck is a "florida room"?

A room off the main house that is wall to wall windows. We're going to use it as a family room - the room the dogs will be allowed into (doggy door to the garage, then doggy door from garage to outside)

I have a friend from Tampa who is always amused at the term. When I told him my house has a florida room, he commented that the trend of people in FL building "pennsylvania rooms" just hasn't caught on.
