Status Quo

*WARNING*  This post will be heavy with pictures.

Since we are all in this short sale buying biz for the long haul, I thought I'd pass the time and spin some yarn about our current home and what we've done to her since we moved in in 2006.  Yep, the peak of the market.

Our current house was just a little 4 year old pup when we bought her, and suffice it to say, didn't need a lot of updating so there really won't be many posts to speak of about her.  That's not to say that she has not served us well, we love our current home for sure,  we just wish we had more of her to love (And in a better location).  Ol' New-ey is a 1,552 square foot Colonial style home with  2 bedrooms and  2.5 baths on a humble quarter acre of land.

We listed our house in December 2011 and received an offer, but alas with this horrid housing market, we just did not appraise to the sale price and had to bow out and move on.  We are going to rent it out instead, and luckily, rentals in this here area go faster than pancakes at IHOP.  Below is the colorful description she listed with:

Wonderful home with upgrades galore. Beautiful Kitchen w/granite counters, Maple Cabinets, hardwood floors, & Stainless Steel appliances and oversized Eating Area. Fenced in Back Yard w/paver expanded paver brick patio. Warm and inviting colors throughout. Comfortable Dining/Family Room & 2-story Living Room. Master Suite w/private bath. Awesome 3rd Bed/Loft provides flexible space. Easy access.

And since we are in the mood for sharing, here are listing photos of her cute little mug.  She's such a ham..

Pavered Backyard.. There once was a cute little koi pond
where our firepit table currently reside.

She's a hot mess.

Elegant 2nd full guest bath turned kid's woodland splash pad..

Guest Room/2nd BR turned whimsical jungle nursery

Master Blah-room (never did get around to making her pretty)

Last but not the least, our Master Bath. 
I shall miss you the most!

Since we purchased 6 years ago, there were some changes, considering we also had some major life events while living here.  Namely, the birth of our bouncing baby girl, Olive.  But I'll save those for another post since we'll be here awhile.  Hope everyone had a great weekend.
