　　Katie and Tom's new home

　　When Katie and Tom started searching for their first home, they had two main requirements. They wanted a house in the heart of Midtown. They also wanted a home with an open floor plan and a modern atmosphere, but they realized quickly the two things didn't go hand in hand.

　　“We knew we wanted to be in Midtown，” Katie said. “We went into a lot of houses. They were old, they were beautiful, but the rooms were a little small and had lots of space that wasn't really usable.”

　　“We didn't want to have to knock down any walls，” Katie said. “I remember saying to Tom，‘I wish we could find a newer house in Midtown.’”

　　It took more than half a year to find it, and with the help of a Realtor(地产中介), the couple came across a house that met every one of their requirements. Though it was in the heart of Midtown, it was built in 1993.

　　Katie said, “I had been attracted by it, but it was out of our price range (范围)．And then they reduced the price.”

　　They bought the three­bedroom, two­bathroom, 1,650­square­foot house in November for $195,000. They loved it not only because it was a newer house in an older neighborhood, but because it had a great kitchen, an open layout (设计) and a big, fenced backyard that were all perfect for fun.
