A 'Before' House Tour

Now that we have settled in to our new home and done the truly important things (like get Internet access), I wanted to post a "before" house tour as promised. These are the images of our home taken from the listing and the inspection, so they still have the previous owner's flair.

House Stats:

• Built in 1920's but majorly renovated in 2007
• 2-Story, with painted brick on the original home and siding on the second floor addition.
• 4 Bed, 2.5 Bath, ~2300 square feet
• Unfinished, walkout basement
• Backyard with a deck, and with a detached 2-car garage
• Established neighborhood lined with large, old trees
• One block from a great elementary school & playground, 5 minutes to daycare and about 12 minutes to work :-)
