Home!!


Finally...we got it!! It took forever....over 6 months to finally close on the house. We ran into lots of issues, but we were determined. SO EXCITING!!


Would you like to join me for the "Before" tour....It's pretty eye opening....not for the faint of heart. :)

From the front entry to the right was a solid wall...
the back of some built in bookshelves in the Living Room. 


View to the left....down the hallway to the 4 bedrooms. 
You can look into the spare room from the hall. 


 Also down the hall is the main bathroom. It had had a little work done to it, but we will still need to do some sprucing.  

The Master Bedroom....tiny and boring. It has the smallest closet in the whole house, and a super tiny second bathroom...but a pretty view of the back yard. 

From the front door, you turn to the right into the main living area. Icky....it was covered in moldy, stinky carpet full of pet stains. There was a sticky film over everything. ....shutter.....Lots of potential, though...ambig window, fireplace, and cook wood beam!


Another view from the door. You can see the corner of the dining room and the door to the mudroom and garage.

 From the Living room, you walk into the dining room 
(and Pantry & Laundry Closet)

And right into a tight kitchen with tons of storage.




 We will normally enter the house from the mudroom. The door didn't all the way....turns out it was just because they had stacked indoor/out door carpet instead of removing it! 


That leads right into a two car garage...it will take some demo to get both cars in, but it will be worth it. 

We are blessed to have tons of loving family and friends who are ready and willing to help......I can't wait to make this HOME!
