Exterior


















Updates:
-A new roof (including updated trusses and sheeting) was installed in the fall of 2011.
-New fascia and soffit have been installed as part of that process. 
-All of the windows have been replaced with new vinyl windows (2010 - warranty is transferable) and window trim on many of the windows has been replaced as well.
-The exterior was also just painted this spring (15 year warranty on the paint).

The front and back lawns are fully landscaped and include an automated sprinkler system.
The large willow tree on the east provides great shade during the morning and early noon hours.

The house faces south, allowing the snow and ice to melt quickly off the porches and walkways during winter months. 




 A large driveway borders the house to the west which is wonderful for bike riding and play room for little ones, as well as extra parking for company.


Back yard includes a patio, garden bed, raspberry patch and lots of perennials.
Installed water spicket at rear of house for water plants and filling up kid's pool.

Back of house

 Side yard is shaded well and includes a cement patio slab.

Garage


This is one of the favorite features of the house! The garage is 900 square feet, almost doubling the square footage available for use and storage.  

It features two garage doors and two windows. It has easy-access attic storage and a lot of shelving. 

It can easily accommodate parking, food storage, work benches and power tools with lots of storage room to spare.

In front of the garage is a large driveway which is wonderful for bike riding and play space for little ones, as well as parking for extra company.

Living Area

The living room features four windows which allows for a lot of daylight (two facing the front of the house and two facing east), and is especially sunny during the morning hours.

This room has been updated with new carpeting, ceiling lighting, new vinyl windows and a new wall furnace.  Bricked fireplace walls were removed and replaced with new drywall allowing more usable square footage in the room. 


This is the view as you walk in the front door.

 The living room connects to the dining room and kitchen with a large walk way.

Kitchen and Dining


Favorite room of the whole house!

The kitchen and dining rooms are bright and have an airy feel, especially in the afternoon when the west-facing window brings in a lot of light.

Updates:
-Wood laminate flooring installed
-All cabinetry refinished and new hardware installed.
-New counter tops and tiled back splash




Under cabinet lighting

New garbage disposal and water faucet installed



Dining room includes new board and batten and chandelier
Window faces south (front of house)






Bedroom 1

This main bedroom has been updated with new carpet (as was the hallway and living room) and fresh paint. 

It's large enough to house a California King bed with plenty of walking room remaining.

The room is very functional with two closets, one at the front of the room for hanging clothes and one at the back of the room with lots of shelving. 

The windows face the driveway and the backyard, and the room has a cheery feel as it gets lots of natural day light.





Laundry

Photos coming soon

Bedroom 2


This second bedroom features a dividing wall, allowing it to function as two rooms. 
This room includes updated wood-laminate flooring, a wall shelf extending the length of the room, and two closets. These rooms stay wonderfully cool in the summer time and are heated by a wall furnace in the cooler months.
