Home Sweet Home!

James went for the home inspection this last week. Other than a few minor items, all went well. In his trips up and down and around, he took 37 pictures of the house! Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll exceed the size limit of my uploads to blogspot. We have picked the ones we think are the best, but of course, they don't do it nearly the justice of an in person visit. Guess that's a good excuse to visit, right? Basic Info:
4 Bedrooms
3.5 Baths
3 Car Garage
3087 sq. ft.
This is the what you'll see when you walk in the front door. You're looking into the "piano room." It was the first house that we looked at and knew exactly where it would belong. I just need to visit the resale shop and find a nice chair to include in the room at some point.
Another view of the entry from the top of the stairs. This area (aka the game room) upstairs is open to the front and back of the house to keep the open feeling.
Downstairs, you find the kitchen in the back corner behind the garage and the dining room and off of the great room. The appliances aren't in yet, but will be stainless to go with the granite, tile, and cabinents. We were responsible for the refrigerator, and successfully found one this weekend at Lowe's. (10% off, already marked down, and a rebate for delivery) It will go well with the other appliances and was a great deal!
This was an added bonus. There is a small Butler's Pantry in between the kitchen and the dining room! What a great thing for entertaining! (And yes, the light in the dining room has to go; I have no idea what the builder was thinking!)
Here is the great room. The master bedroom is off of it. The fire place is on the same wall as the bedroom.
Here is a quick view of the garage. It is a tandem 3-car, so it only looks like 2 from the street. It will be nice have the extra working space (James' Brewery) while parking the motorcycle and both vehicles in there. I hear we'll appreciate that in the middle of July.
And last but not least, the backyard. We have a great covered porch that faces west. Maybe we can watch the summer storms come in. And the rest of the yard is pretty good size. It's as wide as the lot in IN and almost as deep. It is a little difficult to tell since our yard always looked much bigger without the fence.

Give us a few more weeks, and we'll have plenty of space for everyone to come visit. As of April 17th, we'll be taking reservations for the Davidson Bed & Breakfast!
