Come take a virtual tour of our new house!

Because of the trees it's hard to get a good picture of the front of the house. I could have walked a little farther away, but I didn't (it was really windy). The house is mostly brick with a split level that leads to the bedrooms that is wood siding. Come see the inside!

The front yard

The front yard is surrounded by this little brick fence. Both sides have these little gates leading up to the front door. There are two mature trees in the front yard for lots of shade.

The backyard

We'd definitely like to replace a lot of the rock with grass, but we like the little brick wall and the trees.

This is kind of interesting. Both sides of the house have these covered tunnels that lead to the carports. This one has an outside storage closet for the lawnmower and such.
Here's a view of the back patio. The wood needs to be replaced or restained, but I like that parts of it are covered and parts are in the sun.

The Kitchen

The kitchen has solid surface counter tops (corian- sorry I don't know how to spell it).
A second view of the kitchen to show all the cabinet space.

The Family Room

This is a sunken family room with a view taken from the kitchen. There is a gas fireplace, which we'd like to replace with a wood burning stove.

The Playroom

This could be a family room or living room, but I think we'll use all those closet for the kids toys and call it the playroom.

The Master bedroom

The master bedroom has four closets! I'm thinking that will be heaven after sharing one very inconvenient closet with Gary for the last 5 years.
I admit this is a little strange, but still nice. This jetted tub and sink are actually in the Master bedroom. The toilet and shower are closed off just off to the left.

The Master bedroom opens out to this deck overlooking the backyard. Obviously it needs to be repainted.


This fireplace is in the Master bedroom.
