So, here is the front of the house. Corner lot, in a ascending neighborhood, close to schools, downtown, a seniors center, and a lot of playgrounds and green space. Oh, yeah, a free trolley that takes you downtown and back again. Love it. Lovely curb appeal.
The front yard and door. The property has some nice growth of trees. We do need some new plants in the planters but hey...still looks awesome.
The peice d' resistance...a lovely Koi pond, featuring a water fall, with 9 large Koi, lily ponds, and flowers. We showed up today and there were a bunch of little birds taking a bath in the fountain. The sounds of a babbling pond in the desert is very very appealing. See the orange Koi in the middle of the pond. Oh yeah, there is a big kids play set made of wood in the front yard as well. And, just beyond the pond, a putting green. Very cool.
Then, there is the back yard. Quite a bit of work to do here. But there is good "bones".
A large pool that has a spot for a large diving board. Nice deep pool. We will ditch the fence and clean up there with some grass I think.
A new block cement fence will help with privacy and make the yard a lot cleaner looking.
The kitchen, before the demo started today...we are planning a 8 foot sliding glass door where the window is in the dining area beyond the kitchen. Lets bring the outdoor and indoor living togeather! The pool is behind those blinds.
The formal dining/living area. We are going to make the door bigger in here and let the room become more of a open living area. You will get more access to the kitchen. Also, going to open up the wall on the left side of the piano to make the room larger.
Master bedroom....
Scary master/main bathroom!!!!!!!!!!
Second bedroom.
Third bedroom YIKES!!!! How green can green be????? 2nd bathroom off this room and joining the kitchen/dining room
2nd bathroom. This has a stand up shower in it as well. Kinda like the vanity pedestal sink.
The fourth bedroom/playroom/office/laundry room. I think this was a garage at one time that they made into a extra small room and laundy room, then opened it up to be a at home office. We are taking that out and adding carpet and making it more of a all purpose room. I said "mud room" and they all laughed at me. Yeah Shannon your not in Kansas anymore. Not alot of mud in the desert. No wet boots to put up before you get into the house!!!!
I guess you can take the girl out of the country....LOL
That's all for now folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
