First of all, today is our 13th wedding anniversary. Time flies.
Anyway, we found out this week that the renters are moving out so we can sign on the house June 28th. 2 months early! I am so excited. We went with the appraiser last week and took some pictures of our house. The pics are from Aaron's phone so not so great, but still it gives you a little sneak peek. The house was built in the late 80's, so we will have some updating to do but it is in such great condition and there is such limited housing here in Shelby that we just feel like we are so blessed to be buying it.
We are going to have lots of room for visitors. ;) It is 2480 sq. feet with a full finished basement, attached 2 car garage, a big shop that is right out of the laundry room door, 7 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a wood stove in the basement and a wood fireplace upstairs. The house is on about 2 acres (13 city blocks) and has a gorgeous view. See, lots of room for visitors.
My least favorite part of the whole house is the kitchen. It is small compared to our last kitchens but it will work. For now. Oh yes, I have plans. Big plans.
This is the laundry room. Half of it. This room is bigger than the kitchen. It has an island of all things. I can't even explain how excited I am about this room. The wall opposite the washer and dryer is a big closet and then on the right hand side there is a 1/2 bath and another small closet and a great place to put our freezer. I might just have to get up and dance a little jig before I can continue.
The living room upstairs.
This is the other side of the living room.
The other fireplace downstairs. It is huge and separates two big rooms. I'm thinking library and family room. Of course, there is a whole lot of updating to be done down there but I am so excited for projects!
This is the cold room in the basement. I know it doesn't look like much but this almost makes my heart skip a beat. I can just imagine putting all of my veggies from my garden in here. My grandparents used to have a cellar that they stored all of their produce from their garden in and I'm so excited to have my own.
Well, that's all I'm putting on here. The rest you'll just have to come and see for yourself. We'll be in the house by July 1st!
