I will try to update often when we make changes to it. Of course I didn't get a picture of the whole front so that will have to come later.
Cody opening the front door!
Living room has a fireplace. You can get to the hallway and the kitchen from the living room. We are thinking of taking the wall out between the living room and hallway.
The kitchen is in great shape. It is small but there are two closets in the hallway and one will be my pantry which means I will have just as much cabinet space as I do now.
The cabinets are original to the house but have been refaced. They are in very good shape.
Sliding glass door out to the covered patio off the kitchen
The main bathroom. That sweet 70's linoleum really gives it some personality.
Furnace/laundry room. Nothing too fancy but it does have an outside entrance. Cody can come right in and put his dirty clothes in the washing machine. We are both happy about that.
Our bedroom. The walk in closet is nearly the size of the bathroom in our current home. It also has a full master bath.
Carly's bedroom has a large walk-in closet as well. This girl needs it - we are so blessed with so many hand-me-downs and aunts with exceptional clothing taste. Not to mention the dress up clothes!
Aiden's room has a much smaller closet with a sliding door. His room is just a smidge smaller than Carly's, but it is just as big if not bigger than the room he and Carly share now. The closet is larger than their closet now.
I love the dark trim and that it is continuous through the house and matches! So many of the homes we saw did not have matching trim, doors or woodwork and that is irritating to me and would have been a lot of work for us. I am very happy this house is well matched.
Outside - The back of the house, looking south. The lattice needs to be taken down and the yard cleaned up.
More of the back yard looking from the side of the patio into the back yard. The plants around the trees are somewhat overgrown but it has sat unkempt for over a year. You can tell the previous owners took pride in their yard and had a lot of perennial plants. We found some onions along the back fence, but no asparagus.
From the far edge of the yard looking west at the house.
The garage is very large. I think it could fit two cars but I bet we only put one in.
This week's progress 9/25:
House purchased.
House purchased.
I have removed the apple boarder from the kitchen and the flower boarder from the main bathroom.
Cody has removed the hot water heater, furnace and A/C. He also has a plan to fix a spot in the floor of the furnace room and to take out the wall in the living room.
Stay tuned for the updates!
