Pictures of Our New House

Today, David and I went on a walk-through in our new house!  We will get the keys one week from now.  I tried to multi-task as best I could and listen to Buddy explain all the different features of the house, take pictures to share on this blog, and simultaneously inspect the home for any minor repairs, like painting, cleaning, etc.  Buddy, the customer service representative who conducted the walk-through, told us over and over that our model is his favorite floor plan of this series of houses!  We like it, too:)

This is the front of the house.  The front and corner are already landscaped for us, although we don't know what all the plants are yet!

We have a corner lot!

The kitchen is actually so large that I couldn't get a very good picture of the whole room (this is just one side).  There is a LOT of storage space and a working island and a beautiful gas stove!  I believe that the oven door is sufficiently heavy to be toddler-proof AND there is a control lock on the dishwasher!!!

The floor plan is very open, with the kitchen open to the dining room open to the great room.  In the great room, we have a beautiful cabinet as well as a gas fireplace. 

More beautiful cabinetry--I think this storage area is for linens.

This is the bathroom that the kids and guests will be using.  Some neat features: the light automatically turns off after no motion is detected for 10 minutes AND the fan automatically turns on when it senses the humidity is too high.

This is a glimpse of the master bathroom.

A glimpse of the master bedroom.  There is a ginormous walk-in closet.  Anyone want to go shopping with me???

There are two other bedrooms, which are virtually identical.  We plan to let Mary and Maggie choose which bedroom they would like out of the two on the 15th.

The front door.  Notice there are two peepholes: one for the grown-ups and one for the little people!

The laundry room, which leads to the garage.  Again, lots of storage space and not your regular run-of-the-mill utility sink!

Finally, a two-car garage!!!  One door leads into the laundry room, the other leads to the side yard.

We expected the backyard to be a pile of dirt, but there is an actual patio already!  Plus, there's plenty of sunny spots for the vegetables!
