Oh, very nice!

A cozy homey fire place, an awesome yard that just screams "Dogs!", you'll love the ceramic tile.

Welcome to homeownership! :D

Way cool! And you have the fireplace from heaven! Love it! Where abouts in the country are you moving/do you live?

Congratulations, btw....that is something we hope for sometime within the next couple of years (housing here is ridiculously high).

Out in suburban Maryland. It looks like the countryside, but it's right around the corner from the mall. :) And the fireplace is awesome. It's got a heatilator, so we can keep the doors closed and pump the hot air into the room. :)

Rockprincess, we settle on December 13th - then we'll paint and do some little improvements and move in around Jan 1.

Now there's a feature I'd give a lot for. We have a nice fireplace in the house we rent (you can see it in the Samhain altar thread in here), but the house is very open, which I love, so there's little heat that you get from the fire. When the power goes out, with the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows we have, it gets really cold in here.

I don't live to far away from Maryland! And I just became a homeowner for the first time in May of 2002. It was like having a baby, I was so excited. I'll post pics sometime!

[djmixon]

Congratulations! Owning a home is a wonderful thing!!!!!

[enchancea]

Congrats!!!!

[Brónach Druid]

Congratulations! It's a beautiful home!

[mucgwyrt]

It's beautiful ben!
I think the panelled room would look fabulous if you painted it all except for the whole wall with the bookcase on it; that would look pretty funky :)

And my god! How big is that yard?!

:abbed:

[LittlePerson]

Oh, Ben it's a wonderful house. (*feelings of jealously arise*). I love that fireplace and flooring in the kitchen. I'm sure it will be wonderful for you too. Btw, I have a mother in law in baltimore. Good luck with the remodeling with the paneling.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Congratulations, Ben! :dancy:

Your new home looks awesome - and the backyard could be in the English countryside, by the looks of it. You've been blessed indeed. :smile:

[Ben Trismegistus]

It's beautiful ben!

That's the plan. We're going to paint the walls white, but leave the brown behind the built-ins -- cool huh?


And my god! How big is that yard?!
Here's the cool thing. Our property is only a quarter-acre. The actual backyard of the house extends like 20 or 30 feet behind the house. After that, it's all common land that belongs to the homeowner's association. There's a pond with a bridge, a playground, etc. But it's all very private, so it's more or less like it's our own backyard, EXCEPT that we don't have to worry about mowing the lawn or raking the leaves! Woohoo!

[halfwaynowhere]

wow, that is awesome! I would love to have grown up in a house like that... it seems like it would be fun. well, congratulations on owning a home, especially one as wnderful as that one!

[Autumn]

Ben what a wonderful home you have found and the ceramic tile work is to die for! I saw they've done some in the basement too...

Congradulations!

Edited for idiotic typo!

[BrigidMoon]

Congrats, Ben on the new home! :)

[Jenne]

Coolness dude! Major congrats to you and the fam! Love the look of the house, and the HOA actually sounds dreamy rather than dreary! Major kudos! :colorful:

[Faery-Wings]

Wow! Gorgeous. Many blessings to you. *hands Ben bread and salt*

Very :uhhuhuh:
You'll have to post more pictures when it's all done! :fpipesmok

WOW! That's SO cool!! You're pretty much guaranteed to never have any eyesores built on it then, too! Lucky jammer :D

[kitsch]

congrats! i'd be out in that yard every day; it's beautiful.
and the house's exterior looks so homey...very american dream, in a good way.
