We found a house

After a stressful week of selling our condo and then having only a week to find/buy a new house, we found one. It need a little updating in the kitchen, but nothing immediate and Chad can do all of that on his own. He is very handy. One closet has the 80's mirrored doors, so we will be replacing those. Overall, its a great house. It has 4 bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms. The master room has a walk-in closet and a full bathroom. Its definitely big enough for our California King bed and a sitting area. We may update that bathroom later also. The kids bathroom is very cool and needs no updating. Its really nice. The three other rooms are all good size, I think 14ft by 12 ft. On the main level is an entry way, formal dining room, formal living room, family room with fireplace, kitchen and dinette, bathroom, and a huge laundry room. Seriously, I have never seen a laundry room so big. I think its about 17ft by 12 ft. Tons of storage in there and there is a door from the garage into the laundry room and, best of all, a door from the back yard into the laundry room. That way if its muddy, everyone enters through the laundry room instead of the family room. The basement is unfinished, but is 1000 ft with two large, conforming windows. Our plan is to put a bedroom, maybe two rooms, a living area, a bathroom, and a play room or office, and have some storage. Its big. The backyard is large and completely flat. It has a great covered patio and a privacy fence. The front yard is very nice and has a great tree that we can hang a tire swing from. We have a third parking spot in the driveway and one behind our fence on the side of the garage, which is connected to the house by a door into the garage. It would be very easy to add a third car garage. The house has double doors for front doors. Right now, they are white, but we are going to get nice, oak doors. We are very close to Cherry Creek Reservoir, so we can do lots of camping, fishing, and boating. Our house is in the Cherry Creek school district, which is supposed to be the best district in all of Colorado. I think Kiley will really like her new school. We are very excited. Even though its not our first home together, it feels like it is coming from a condo.
