For Angela;)
Family, please ignore;)
Front of the house/driveway/front deck
Side/back yard. You can barely see the shed that is back there but its cute. The lawn hasn't been mowed all spring so it looks a little hairy but you get the idea. The yard doesn't have any landscaping so it would be easy to take care of. Just mowing.
This is where you walk in. To the right (where you can't see is the living room, straight ahead is the dining room and then the kitchen and to the left are 2-3 steps up to the three bedrooms and the bathroom.
This is the first living room to your right as you walk in. The furniture is all piled into the middle so you can't see how big it is. It's a decent size. Not huge but generous. You can see the door that leads onto the porch. There's a door off the dining room that leads to the porch too so in that way the upstairs living areas are all connected.
This is the "dining room" but this is a bad picture. I think I was taking it of the Italian Murano glass chandelier! So I didn't get the full room. It's equally as big as the other living room (who's size you also can't see';) There's a door to the right of the huge window that leads onto the same front porch. You could easily fit a dining table and a small sofa in here or a couple of comfy chairs to the side of the table. Or a homework desk or something for the kids.
Here's the back half of the kitchen. I'll be jealous of your countertop space if you get this place! Though it's narrow-ish there is a lot of countertop space. There is currently only a small refrigerator but I told him that people would definitely want a tall fridge so maybe he would need to remove a segment of cabinets to fit one in. He said he could do that.
6 burner stove and cute little spice racks/shelves.
Cute kitchen tile
THe pretty buffet included in the kitchen, if you want it. But you could put a fridge here and then have 1 and 1/2 fridges!
Front porch
A bedroom...can't remember which one.
The smaller bedroom. You could fit bunk beds in here and the right wall is all built in storage.
The storage wall
ONe of the hallway storage cabinets
Inside one of the cabinets. Lots of organized storage space in this house.
The upstairs bathroom. Big. But Italian bathrooms usually are.
The extra separate shower
The huge downstairs room with the landlord trying to duck out of the picture;) His name is Rudi. He's probably in his early 30's. Really nice guy.
The windows in the huge downstairs room.
The HUGE fireplace. It's prettier than this picture conveys but it does need a good cleaning.
This is just a detail above one of the doors. But there's lots of stuff like this all over the house. You can tell someone loved it at one time;)
This is the downstairs kitchen but a BAD picture. Not sure why I photographed this thing instead of the actual countertops! This drawer unit you would probably want to have moved out before you moved in. This kitchen is pretty small but you could put an extra fridge in here or freezer or make it a little craft room. It has a stove in it too so...two ovens. Can't complain about that;)
This is the downstairs bedroom off of the garage. You can't see the 3-4 feet of width on the other side of the bed. It's at least a 15x15 room. Again, all this stuff could go or stay..all the furniture in there he said could go or stay as the renter wants.
An extra random storage room on the other side of the small kitchen. There's already storage shelving in it and a deep freezer. ON the other side of this is another medium sized bedroom that I didn't photograph for some reason. It had a bunch of old armoires and chests of drawers pushed into the middle so you probably couldn't have seen it anyway. It has a window in it.
Downstairs bathroom with large mirror and lots of storage.
Here's the part of the yard directly behind the house. A little stone walkway is up against the house...you can see it to the right.
Another cute touch...chalkboard in the kitchen;)
Backside of the front door...front entry way.
the front steps to the house with a large landing.
The front walkway with built in globe lights that work! You can see the hedge there on your left and the giant climbable magnolia tree in straight ahead.
Here's the other side of the hedge with the long straight grassy area. Your kids would love to play in this yard. lots of knooks and crannies and, of course, the awesome magnolia tree.
My friend Daniela's house directly in front of you.
Danielas little girl, Emma;) She calls me "cashi":) She is just a bit older than Juliet and has Downs Syndrome. She is so cute!!
The view of the house from Daniela's yard.
Best of all, it's close to us;) (And Daniela who is actually cooler than we are;) You will love her. The bus ride from Sarone is about 30 minutes both ways and the bus stop is a half of a block down a sidewalk from this house. You could totally walk there in 2 minutes...less probably! Talk soon!
