The Tour |

 |
| (Looking Southwest) |
(Looking South) |
(Looking Southeast) |
| Above you can see the front of the house. Notice it
is a split level, 2-story house. The the right side
has an open living area with kitchen, dining room, living
room, and fireplace. On the left side are bedrooms on
the top level, and the den and 1-car garage are underneath.
(Also, the basement is on the right side of the house,
beneath the living area.) |

(On The Deck, Looking South) |
| And now we have walked around to the backyard. These
photos were taken shortly after the last frost in early
April. The deck is great for BBQ's and hanging out when
it's nice outside On the deck rail, you see 4 tomato plants
soaking up the sun (They have now been transplanted).
In the large beige pot is an herb garden with fresh thyme,
oregano, and sage. The southern planter now has some rose
bushes in it, and a trellis with clematis, a grape vine, and a
raspberry cane. We like to take advantage of the warm
months to do some gardening! |

(Looking at the staircases, left goes up to bedrooms, right goes to the lower den) |
| After entering through the front door, we are looking at the
main living area. This is the main area where we do most
of our hanging out, cooking, listening to music, sitting by the
fireplace, and studying. In the kitchen, we love the appliances,
which make cooking meals a treat!

| We've gone upstairs, where there are 3 bedrooms, and a bath. Two
of the bedrooms are bigger than the others. Bedroom1 and Bedroom2
are both 12'x13', and Bedroom3 is 10'x11'. All have spacious closets,
and are currently furnished with a twin-bed, dresser, and desk. Please
excuse the poor quality of these photos. See photo archive for more shots.

| Now we're on the lower level, where we have a comfy den for watching
movies or hanging out. Adjoining is a half bath, and access to
the garage. A big plus, is the basement laundry and storage areas.
Finally, you see a glimpse of the basement bedroom, which I use as my
office and bedroom.

| Finally, here are some shots of the garden at the end of July.
I am really just showing off my tomatoes and other flowers in the yard.
I love to relax in the garden, and an added perk is that it gives a harvest!
