DH & DW did finally find something that interested them more than they thought it would. This home kind of struck a chord with the both of us. We are STILL talking about it this evening and we're not sure why. I guess it has soooo much potential for us and with a little hard work we could see living here for a very good long time. It was a refreshing moment for the both of us to think we might have found the one. We are not jumping right in and saying this IS the place. But it does make one think of the "what if" ideas.
This is a photo of the front of the house when we arrived. Compared to the photo on the internet, it was exactly as it was posted. It's a corner lot with a HUGE backyard and it has a pool with a water feature to boot. However, the interior has carpet through out the whole house with the exception of the kitchen area. We would have lots of tile work to do if we purchased it.
This is the pool area. It's not filled because the city of Phoenix has helicopters that fly over neighborhoods and write tickets to home owners that don't maintain their pools. Our understanding is it's a pretty hefty fine. The reason is that they don't want an explosion of mosquitos hatching and raising havoc with home owners. We have been here since August of '07 and haven't been bit by a Mosquito yet. We would like to keep it that way. However from our previous post, I see some neighborhoods in the future having a HELL of a time with the skeeters.
This photo shows the other half of the back yard area. It truly is a large backyard that would allow our four legged darlings to have plenty of play area.
This would be our view from the master bedroom. French doors to the large back patio and a full view of the backyard. The picture doesn't do it justice.
Here's a photo of DH looking at things in the Kitchen area. The wallpaper would HAVE to go, but that's what makes this property so appealing to us. With a little work, it could be a GEM!! We welcome any comments you might care to share.
"TO BE CONTINUED"

will you have room for a music area for your harp? keyboard and other items? Will it be in your main living area? just wondering. Have fun with the search.
We are planning on having a music room in our next place. DH hopes it will be in the living room area so he can eventually get back to playing on a regular basis.
