"New" pics of the house we're buying
We were at the house yesterday for the inspection, so I took a bunch of pictures. It looks kind of different without all the furniture in it and from different angles.
The breezeway between the garage and kitchen. We'll probably use this as a playroom for Cassidy. The seller is supposed to be putting beige carpet in there and we'll probably take the paneling down and sheetrock it.
That back porch you can see through the sliders will hopefully be taken down this summer. It's not in very good shape and DH wants to build a deck there eventually.
The kitchen no longer has wallpaper in it.
The original 1960 oven. It is scary. The inspector turned it on and it emitted this foul odor and we had to open all the windows. LOL
The skinny half bath. It's between the living room and kitchen (on the other side of the fridge wall).
The view of the front door from the living room.
The living room.
Second Floor
Upstairs bathroom.
Master Bedroom
This will be Cassidy's room.
We'll use this bedroom as an office and probably a spare bedroom after we have baby #2.
This will be baby #2's room when the time comes.
Backyard
I didn't take a picture of the dining room. Oh well. It still has ugly wallpaper in it, but they took down the paneling that was on the bottom half of the wall. ;-)
We have our work cut out for us, but it will be worth it in the end!

Congratulations!
Jan
Congrats! It looks really nice!!!
That's so exciting Jan! The bedrooms look awesome, great hardwood floors and new paint! Looks like you're doing some work to the downstairs, but I can tell it will be perfect! It looks like a lot of room and a great floor plan!
Congrats again!
I love how big the backyard is. Looks like you'll have tons of playroom outside for the kiddos
How long until you close? Did you say a month?

Awesome! Moving is very fun/stressful. Enjoy making the house into a home.
OMG super pictures
So happy for you! Looks like you found a great find!
Maybe the stove will set you more money off the house
??
wintergreen- we are getting a pretty good deal on the house basically because of the entire kitchen and some other things that need to be repaired. We plan to gut the kitchen anyway, so we're not going to nitpick over that kind of stuff. ;-)

Hey Jan, looks awesome! As pp said, "good bones." I actually like the paneling in the breezeway, assuming it's in as good condition as it seems from the photos.
I'm SO excited for you! Do you have a closing date yet?
