The house has about 2700 sq/ft of finished area. There's a 2-car rear-entry garage, 4 bedrooms, 3 and 1/2 baths, basement with finished rec room area (Denise has claimed that for her sewing room), and a 24'x24' unfinished space with 8 windows over the garage. The main floor is all hardwood, and the kitchen has maple cabinets and granite counters.
The lot is about an acre. It will be a challenge to landscape, as we'll have to work around the septic drain field and the wooded areas that are supposed to remain undisturbed. There are neighbors to one side and to the rear. Once the leaves return, the privacy should be pretty good (as long as nobody builds on the lot to the left). There's a deck on the back that will be great for barbeque parties. (Bring the steaks, please!)
And finally the fun stuff! We haven't completely moved in yet, it's amazing how much stuff we collected in that tiny apartment! But we are beginning to hang curtains and decorate the place some. It's really beginning to feel like a home. I made these curtains yesterday and Bryan graciously hung them for me when he got home. I wanted them to hang low enough on the window that some light would come in while still maintaining some privacy in the guest bathroom. I wasn't entirely pleased at first, but they are growing on me. We have also hung curtains (store bought as the desperate need outweighed the desire for handmade) in the office and our bathroom.
This is the sideboard I bought at the Apple Basket that my mom so graciously kept for me. It is the only piece of furniture currently inhabiting the dining room but it will get some friends soon! Behind it you can see some of the myriad pictures that have not yet been hung on the walls. There is time, I know, but I am so impatient!
