Before and After

As mentioned in other articles on this blog, there has been a lot of work done to this home in the last 3 years. One of the biggest transformations has been the appearance of the home.

Just to get an idea of what this house looked like when the current owner acquired this home:




On the exterior, an all new stucco dash finish has been applied, as have new windows, trim around the windows, columns to front porch, slate tile to the porch, new garage door, new front door, new side lite, and of course all new paint and landscaping.

And of course the current appearance of this home:



We certainly believe this has been a drastic improvement, and hope you do too!

Storage Abounds

One of the nice features of this home is the amount of extra storage available in both the main home as well as the attached garage. In addition to the closets in the home, there are two large storage areas next to each knee-wall upstairs (between the knee-wall and the outside walls of the home. One of these two areas (the one next to the upstairs bathroom) is so large we've gone ahead and put some of the old kitchen cabinets up there for extra storage. We'll leave these in place for the next owner to use for storage (right now these are used for storing extra linens and clothes). Both of these storage areas run the length of the house (around 40 ft) and are about 4 ft deep on each side. There's 4 doors upstairs to access these storage areas (two on each side of the upstairs area), making them a convenient and easy to access area.

In addition to the storage area in the home there's also an easily accessible attic space in the garage. The garage has a pull down staircase to the attic area, making it easy to get up into the attic space to use for storage. The space is the same footprint as the two car garage, so there's plenty of storage up there as well. So if you need extra space for keeping your stuff, you've found the right house.
