Houses Again

Joe and I are still searching for the perfect house that the owners would also like us to buy! We've found two in the last week that are simply wonderful. Both are located just north of us on a nice street. This house is across from a huge field and is one of just a few houses on the street.


This shot is to show the beautiful stone work on the porch. The steps and pillars are made of the same stone.
This is the kitchen, which is also so cute, and has matching flooring. (Also fresh paint.)


There is no Fridge but the oven and dishwasher are new!
This is one of two bathrooms and both are pretty similiar in style and layout.

This is the master bedroom. Although you can't really tell the size, you can see the beautiful details. The room is actually similiar to our bedroom now.


This is the laundry room that was built on the back of the garage, giving easy access to the house as they are now on the same level.
This last shot is of the view out the front window. Although it is a little dark, you can still see the field across the street. This house also has a big backyard, and a large storage area under the house. It's such a cute house!!
This house we just found a few days ago, and it is also very cute! It is on a semi busy street, but with a fenced in long driveway, Joli will be able to ride her bike without having to go outside the gate. You can mostly see the house past our realtors car.


This is the carport on the way back towards the two car garage. Joe's excited because I can park in the carport and he will then be able to have the whole garage!




This is the kitchen. I'm not sure if the previous owners just didn't know how to paint of if they just got a bad batch, but that's going to go! Our realtor says that the tile is the original and very valuable. We may leave it, but it needs to be fixed in a few spots.
This is the dining area. Notice the built-in hutch that I'm really excited about!!

This is the living room. It has the original hardwood floors throughout the whole house, except the addition.
This is the door between what would be office space and the family room. The family room was added on and gives much more space to the house. It is a very nice and inviting room that was done well.
This is the fireplace in the family room. It would be really exciting to have a fireplace!


Now this is Joli's favorite thing about the house. She spent at least 10-15 minutes on this thing while I checked out the backyard.
And the backyard is HUGE by the way. I was standing next to the playset when I took this picture, so you can't even see how big it really is!
So those are the newest house that we like. Hopefully we'll get an answer soon. Then we are going to stay in the house FOREVER!! I'm not doing this again!

Both look great. I think I like the second one best from what you've shown. Mom in France

I have to agree, both are wonderful, but second one is better (too much wgite colour in the first one :) ) And the place looks wonderful too - so much green! I am dealing with Vancouver condo real estate and it's not often to see such green place in the locations were condos are built...
