The house buying process was not easy. Erin was frustrated at 4 weeks, not realizing that it could take months. Alameda was the destination because Erin's new position was with Kasier Permanente was based in Oakland. We loved that it was centrally located and near the water, but couldn't find anything we loved in our price range....until we found 172 Purcell Drive...
There was a lot of work to be done inside, but we were up for the challenge. Notice the very dirty grey carpet throughout (yes, that includes the bathrooms) . This was the first to go.
We love the walks along the bay with views of San Francisco and the lagoons. It's also nice to be 7 minutes from the airport and across the street from a tennis and swim club, a top ranking school and 36 hole golf course.
