This room is above the kitchen. From outside, the stairwell to this room comes out from the wall and looks like a tower, and though it's got a balcony and a bathroom, it's not the master. What to call it? The tower room!
Metered off the window and exposed manually at widest aperture. Forced the flash to fire.
Processed in Photoshop Elements - adjusted the levels in two layers to brighten the interior without affecting the window.
not so much room for two, but the two closets are almost asking for two kids. the younger doesn't want to sleep on his own yet, so older is stuck with him for a while more.
A little side attic area in the cat-pee second floor of the otherwise beautifully renovated home. I thought of The Magician's Nephew, where they crawled through the attics that connected all the homes on an adventure.
What is this tiny little cabinet doing here?
We are sort of maybe thinking about these if we decide that we can afford them. Notice the difference in tree cover from the rent house?
We've been calling this Whidbey Island home the "pommeroy" house. It's 3,000 square feet and sits on a 1+ acre lot. The lot is on a hillside that faces south, so it gets plenty of sunlight and it's got a killer view. It's a smaller, narrower lot than we've been looking for, so the neighbors are close by.
This shot from the northeast shows the house and highlights the view.
Master bedroom.
We looked at this house the same day we looked at the Elliott one. They were asking $119,000 for it, though it was Zillowed at $111,000. We actually really liked it. Pros: Great hardwood floors, master bedroom on opposite side of the house from other two bedrooms, large partially fenced backyard, great Florida room, big living room.
Cons: Kitchen was redone but wasn't as nice as the Elliott one (though Elliott's kitchen wasn't worth its price), every room would need to be repainted except maybe the master, was next door to an apartment complex and down the street from the Murfreesboro Motel (skanky motel).
The price is definitely great on this one, but since we're not dying to move (or try to sell our house) right now, we're not going to jump on this. Now, if it's for sale still in the spring...
In answer to the notes: Yeah I'd really like that tree removed, in face I'm currently considering a scorched earth policy on all the plants in front. Xeriscaped, edibles and natives. Maybe cascading rosemary down the front retaining wall. Olive, manzanita, coyote bush, lavender. Two doors up they've painted/stained their retaining wall. I don't like the color they've chosen but it's a nice look otherwise.
bright all-blue (awesome!) master bathroom, kitchen pantry (floor to ceiling cabinets, with a workspace & window on the other side)
