Everyone walks here. It’s like the thing to do. Walking, jogging, biking. SO right up my alley! Plus, there is so much wildlife. Primarily deer. We were diving around the area and we saw 8 deer on a lawn eating some plants. Just crazy. They have two 24 hour security guard that drive the community at all times and from what I hear, don't ever go over 25 miles otherwise you will get ticketed! Every 4th of July they have fireworks on the lake. They have a club house and a restaurant that only the members and community can use. There are about 6000 houses in this community and it sits on a golf course so now, Matt thinks he needs a golf cart! They have boat docks to hold your boat and so many parks, dogs parks, play grounds and tennis courts.
So back to this house. It’s 4 bedroom (could be 5) 3.5 baths and 2400sqft. Built in the 70’s
Pretty much showcases everything I love about this house. LOVE the hardwood floors, the view, all the windows and natural light and the ceiling. The ceiling is my #1 favorite. So much character.
Love the built ins and the fire place. A TV will hang about the mantel
Dining Room. Door to right is the garage.
So much light!
Looking to the master bedroom with half bath on the left and stairs leading down stairs to the right. That door will be removed. It was put up and not installed correctly plus, it is out of place. You can’t put a door on a vaulted ceiling hallway opening like that and make it look good.
Looking out to the upper deck
These would be a DIY concrete countertops that have been painted black. Awful. They were poured unevenly and you can see the paint marks. The tile along the back wasn’t laid right either and it’s popping up in certain places. It all needs to be redone. Good thing I married a handy man!
Laundry room and pantry at end of kitchen
I can see myself sitting in the adirondack chairs drinking coffee while watching the sunrise from this porch. New railing will be put up so it’s safer and believe me, no kids are allowed out there unsupervised! The railing is about 3 feet tall. It looks shorter in the photos
The blue tarp at the top is covering a walk out porch from a bedroom
Master. This will be a guest room/ play room. We don’t want to be a floor apart from Cohen so we will make our room in one upstairs…kinda bites cause I want to have a bathroom and walk in closet in my room!!
The GARAGE! Matt’s favorite thing
my scrapbook room with a small patio overlooking the view. It also has double doors opening into Cohen’s room. Not thrilled about it but we plan to either close it up or keep it for a future kid so Cohen and this future child can open the doors and play with each other. Or one day it could possibly be a play room!
I am seriously dreaming of the best scrapbook room ever created. I can envision it now.
Looking into Cohen's room and the hall way
We are going to put shelving into those little cubby units and I think I will put his crib on the wall in between them. or maybe his dresser…
The 3rd bedroom upstairs with double closets. We are going to be using this as our master. It is right next to the upstairs bathroom
One day it will be the prefect girls room with double closets and a window seat
The back yard. This is the only down fall of the property. It is on .40 acres but it is all on a hill! So we will have to do lots of grading and leveling it out to get it where we want it. This will be one of the first things we do since the dogs will need to go out and potty somewhere. Even then, we will have to have it fenced since there are a lot of deer and I don’t want the dogs to cross paths with them. It could be bad. In this community you can’t fence your property with privacy fencing, but you can use all other type. We might choose an iron or other metal type of some sort. I like having things fenced in.
Which brings me to the last room. The man cave. As of right now it is the only way to get to the back yard but we plan to add stairs fro the upper deck leading to the lower deck. This man cave is all Matt’s. Although, he did say he would share a portion of it with me and some exercise equipment. I really want a treadmill for when it’s cold outside and I want to jog during nap time.
That brick corner is for a pellet stove but the owners took it with them. We plan to replace it. We plan to remove the drop ceiling and the siding on the walls and make it not look so man cavish
It also has a full bath with double sinks and a closet. This is the room that could be used as another bedroom, possibly a master suite when we got done with it.
The deck. you can see the corner of the photo that the neighbors have their property graded. They have like 4 levels and it looks great. One level is grass, then a few steps down leads to another level which is a mesh top and has a soccer goal for the kids then a few more steps leads to a jungle gym and swing set. It looks great and we plan to do something like that as well.
View from the deck
We are the only offer on this house. Since it is a gated community and you have to use a realtor with lives inside the gates to get you in, it makes selling homes there a little more challenging. Our odds of this one actually working out is pretty good which would be nice since this is the 8th? house we have written an offer on and probably the 50th we have seen in the past 7 months.
It’s 40 mins from where we are currently living and about 30 mins to the mall area which has all my shopping places, but I think it will be a great sacrifice to make for Cohen to grow up in such a beautiful place
