We enter the house through the lovely front door. To the immediate right is the living room, complete with lovely Pergo flooring, a nice window seat at a large, ornate window, and another set of floor-length windows on the far wall. This will probably be where our piano will go, as well as some nicer furniture for welcoming guests.
Directly ahead is the dining area, with a kitchen off to the right, also with Pergo flooring. If you proceed straight through the dining area there is a pair of sliding doors leading out to the deck and the back yard. More about them later.
To the left of the front door is a pair of stairs; one leading up, the other down. Upstairs there is a bedroom, bathroom, and another bedroom on the right, and the master bedroom suite on the far right. The master suite has its own bathroom with two sinks, and a walk-in closet on the far side of the bathroom (what's up with that? Most newer places are like that for some reason).
Downstairs is a long family room with a fireplace at the far end, and a large window on the right-hand wall at ground level. Off to the left is a short hallway with a large closet (beneath the upstairs stairs) and bathroom on the left, another bedroom on the right, and a utility porch straight ahead. Through the utility porch is a door leading to stairs up into the garage.
Outside there is a medium-sized garden area (perhaps half the size of our current garden) with raised planter beds and a gravel-covered parking spot currently occupied by the owners' boat, but will be available for repurposing (perhaps more garden or a pair of fruit trees). The other side of the yard is mostly taken up by a large tree (yay!), but there should be ample room for a play area for the kids. There is also a concrete alley running along the far side of the house where they have a small shed.
And that's about the size of it. They've kept it in really good shape, I must say. We're looking forward to living in it.
