A house hunt: House #2

Then we moved on to house #2.

This house was one that hadn't really appealed to me much just by looking at the outside. However the back yard had appealed to my husband, and the pictures of the kitchen appealed to me. So I figured it was worth it to take a look. And I am glad I did.

Just walking into this house you could tell it had a nice feel about it. It is a house that is almost as old as me, but you could tell that the owners have taken really good care of it. It has only had one set of owners, and everything appeared to be in good condition. It had a nice sized living room, kitchen and dinning area, and family room downstairs. This house also had large bookcases in the family room that the current residents are planning on leaving behind.

There were a few downsides to this house as well.

There were 6 bedrooms, but they were smaller rooms. The master was large enough to fit probably any size of bed comfortably, but wasn't much larger than that. All of the other bedrooms are probably not big enough to fit more than one twin bed in each, except for maybe in the instance of a crib or toddler bed. But because there are 6 rooms we felt like that was workable.

There are 2 bathrooms. One upstairs and one down. Neither are really large, but they aren't really small either. The upstairs one is accessible off the hallway and master bedroom.

There is not much space provided for food storage. The area under the stairs had shelves that can be used, and there were a lot of cabinets in the kitchen. But there was no pantry or room that could be used conveniently for storage. To make up for this however, there were a lot shelves in the garage. Not a place you would want to store food, but you could probably store just about anything else you want to store, in there.

There were also quite a few trees in both the front and back yard that looked like a decorative crab apple, that could have the potential to make quite a mess in the fall and winter.

Structurally, the house had aluminum siding, which isn't one of the best options, but I don't know that it is one of the worst either.
