Today's Adventure

Buckle in guys, there are a lot of pictures and they're not really in order since I went back in a couple times. 

We went to see this home in Edinburg this morning, sits way back from the road on 15 acres and was serene and so perfect for us. Trying not to get our hopes up, but we're working on a offer right now. Comments will be under the pictures.

The house is to the right here, looking down the driveway, there's a pond and then a corn field beyond that. The field is being used by a local farmer so the current owners can get a tax break. It's 8-10 acres, so we have the option of renting it or the farmer said he could put grass down.


Looking to the left of the previous picture, nice clear spot and then treeeeeees.


Little working Barber shop, which if everything works out and this is our future home, this will be my sewing spot. It has heat & air and a bathroom! Perfect. :-)



Looking back to the end of the driveway, the blue building would need to be torn down, but all the others are in good shape.




We don't know what this is, waiting to hear. It looks to be a speaker and says alarm something or other.




Back of the house


Nice flat spot behind the garage at the top of the drive. Could be a pool, basketball court, or even a nice workshop for Jordan!


Heater. We're not clear on this really because it appears to be an oil furnace in the home. Definitely something we would change out.



As we were headed to this property Jack mentioned something about wanting a home with a hot tub and then lo and behold! A hot tub! He was most excited.


Side yard, curves around to basement outside entrance.




Formal dining room


I couldn't get a picture when walking in because too many people. That red door is right off the deck by the hot tub and when you open it you face the basement door.

Bedroom 2


Laundry in the hall. Main floor laundry, woot!


Master



Basement stairs










Basement needs work but we like that actually, we can make it into exactly what we want. A soundproof play/fun/tv room. :-)


View from the front door










I have ideas for the kitchen. I like it how it is, but it could be better. I see a pantry here and an unanchored island with a stand alone stove. I don't want to plan too much because if this doesn't work out for us that will make it harder. Managing expectations!



Hall closet



Rather deep. There is also a large closet in the bathroom. Such a change from this place we are living now where I have no storage except under beds!

So, there it is. I'll keep you updated. If this doesn't work we've found a Hobbit house in West Virginia we might check out next.
