And here's the other side of the house. The back yard slopes gently down into a little depression (some other views might make that more clear), and as you can see, it is well shaded. The deck door (both from this old one and the new one) opens on the dining room. The big triple window to its left goes to the living oom. And to its left are an upstairs bathroom and the master bedroom respectively.

The sliding doors in the middle of the lower level open on the stairway up and a downstairs junction. To the right is the family room, to the left is the guest bedroom, and straight back are four diverse storage areas -- a room used by previous owners as a darkroom, an unfinished area that contains the furnace, a laundry area (currently also holding some exercise equipment), and the "Price Club" room, a shelved area perfect for holding those 65-packs of paper towels.

Anyway, that's the "then" picture of the back, here's the "now":

Staying downstairs, we see the guest bedroom, although it's big enough to be the master. Which we can see if we phase through the ceiling ...

... It's bigger than it looks -- that's a king-size bed in there. Both big bedrooms have great views out back ...

... As does the living room. You may notice the hardwood floors underneath.

Shifting our view slightly, the elevated dining area enters the picture. As mentioned earlier, that's not our stuff in there. Furthermore, that door back there opens out onto ...

... the new and improved deck, complete with the new housepuppy. That's that new vinyl flooring.

Whew! Finished painting the wood.

The Gory Underside

And the view from above.

Finally, here's a good chunk of the kitchen (it L's around to the right, where you can find the refrigerator and the ovens). All new appliances, and shining yellow counters. Off to the left, not visible in this picture is a 9' area suitable for a table and the like. Straight through the window is the carport, beyond which, among other things, are...
