I promised that I would share a peek into the house once things were official.
And things are official today - funds have been transferred and the house is ours! But, the sellers will be renting back from us for a few days so we aren't IN the house yet. Yes, it pains me a little to do this (considering they had 8 months to find a place), but the closing did move relatively suddenly/quickly, and we're trying to be nice. Maybe they'll clean the pool one last time on their way out.
These photos were taken in April - the last time we saw the house.
White kitchen! My dream come true! That wine rack will come in especially handy for our Martinelli's storage. ;)
Small pool, but it's a pool! That structure has a ceiling fan tucked into it. Around the corner, to the right, is a big cement slab for the trampoline. And behind me is a nice covered patio + a cobblestone slab in the middle of the grass for an outdoor dining table. I'm really looking forward to all the possibilities for outdoor activities this home (and the weather) will give us.
Love that stone. And the plantation shutters! You can see that the blonde hardwoods go throughout the entire main floor. (If I'm honest, that's my least favorite feature of the house -- I would prefer tile. Or dark wood floors.)
Not many people can say that they have a 20ft tall mirrored wall in their house. Disco ball? (Please, tell me why in the world you would insert a piece of carpet into the hardwood floors like that?).
Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The boys' bedrooms will be joined by a jack & jill bathroom (or rather, a jack & jack).
For a total of 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, living, dining, family, kitchen, laundry, 3 car garage, . . . . . 3100 sq. ft.
