Better Pictures!

Since when we visited the house on Friday it was sunny for the first time :)

That's right, we're BUYING A HOUSE.

So today we signed the purchase agreement and are trying to close by the 31st! We walked through today and I tried to take lots of pictures. I was pretty excited, so some of them might not be so great, but you'll probably get the idea.

Scan of the floorplan. Hopefully you can see it!

Entryway, plus closeup of the highly touted "leaded glass front door"

And then if you turn around, you see the living room and fireplace! And then a view back into the kitchen. Sorry, these pics weren't very well planned out.

Bad picture of the view looking from the living room through the kitchen and breakfast nook through the front window, plus entryway

Views of the kitchen. SILESTONE COUNTERTOPS!!

Part of the master bedroom & closet. Apparently I didn't get a good picture of the bedroom itself, but use your imagination.

Backyard-y type pictures (through the window in the living room)
The great news about the trees behind us is that they seem to be part of city property around a water pump station to the left (we will be planting trees or something to obscure the view) and another park, so no houses behind us! Just trees!

Pictures of the neighborhood:
If you can't see, this is our driveway that faces a T-intersection, which is pretty bad feng shui, but I'm confident I can find some kind of remedy for it:

Here's a picture of the development map - our lot backs up to that big white square chunk taken out of the middle. The development hasn't built out very far past that, but eventually it'll go out to the big nature preserve/park with jogging trails and stuff from the main parkway through the neighborhood all up into the park.
