This is from the window side of the living room, facing the wall and dining room to the left. The foyer is off camera to the right.

This is the den which is off of the foyer. It has great light and a gas fireplace.
We love the built-ins!

The kitchen is right off the den and connects to the dining room on the other side. We will have to do some remodeling in the kitchen to bring it up to date, but it is fully functional. Emphasis on the "funk" part!! (Mauve tile!)
There is a sun room just off the kitchen to the right. It leads to a laundry room.

This is the back patio which is right off the dining room. It curves all the way around the left to connect with a walkthrough to the carport. Plenty of room to have a patio set and grill.
All shaded too!

This is the back side of the yard. I am standing at the fence at the back of the property. This grassy area is on the other side of some oak and cypress trees which are surrounded by very established and huge azaleias.

The floors are all original and has been taken care of very well. The current owner has had them refinished recently.

This is the master bedroom looking out to the balcony and great windows. (Remember that we surprised her with a picture tour so forgive the unmade bed!)

So that is it! We are very excited and very ready for a change. We really are girls that like to be closer to the center of town. It just feels right once you have spent so many years right in the thick of things. The bigger house, friendlier yard, and overall investment will be so nice. The house has so much character and doesn't feel like a big box holding a bunch of unimaginative little boxes!
We will have to remodel the master bath because it is very small and update the kitchen, but that is built into the money we will make on the sale of this house. The new house is on close to 1/2 acre and the living space is about 2800 sq ft. A far cry from here. We are looking forward to having more space and allowing the dogs to enjoy their shaded oasis!
Let us know what you think!
