Looking back

This is look towards the front end of the house. As you can see the the yard is not very wide, but it's cute in it's own sort of way.

Side Yard Up

This is the side yard looking towards the alley at the back of the house. This yard runs the entire length of the house from the front to the back.

Rear of the house

This is from the top of the driveway on the back of the house. The fence to the right goes to the small side yard. The driveway is plenty big enough for two cars if not more. One of the concerns we have is the lack of drainage away from the house. If you click on the picture and make it larger you can see the water damage to the siding towards the bottom of the house.

Looking out.

That's part of the back yard as you look out of the garage and on to the alley

Garage

This is the new furnace which is out in the garage. The wall to the right is the bonus room. It's a large garage even with the bonus room.

Bonus/ Office Space

This is where the washer and dryer are kept along with the water heater. M and I thought this would be the perfect place fo an office.

Bonus Room

This is the bonus room as you can see it's pretty small. The door to the right leads out to the garage. This room also contians the washer and dryer which are to the left of M.

Kitchen

The kitchen is real nice, it's got what looks like a new dishwasher. The stove is like ours a glass flat cooking surface. The fridge looks like it's barely been used. I went to all the faucets and checked the water pressure which is pretty good. The sink also has a garbage disposal in it which is pretty cool.

View from the front door.

Here is the view from the front door.  The door to the right goes to the bonus room and the garage.  The door on the other side of the dining room goes out to the side yard.  Then to the left on the other side of the fire place are the bedrooms

Bathroom

It's a nice sized bathroom.  Those ruffles and glass door would have to go but besides that it's pretty nice, basically cosmetic changes.

Master bedroom Closet

This is the closet to the master bedroom.  It's about the same size as ours.

Master Bedroom

This is the master bedroom, it's larger than our bed room is now.  Tha carpet needs to taken up because of the large stains on it.  Also the TV holder would be taken off the wall.  

Second Bedroom

Heres the closet in the second bedroom.  This room has both baseboard and forced air heat. i noticed that most of the windows are new in the house.

Second Bedroom

This is the second bedroom.  It's about the same size as our bed room is now.  This window faces Grant and the front of the house.

Hall Way

Here your looking down the hallway to the bedrooms and the bath room.  At the end of the very short hall there's a linen closet.  To the right of the closet is the master bedroom and to the left of the closet is the 2nd bedroom.  Then the door closest to me on the left side of the hall is the bathroom.   As you can see the walls need some painting, and the ceiling needs some cleaning from the fireplace.

1610 Grant - Entery Way/ Living Room

This is the living room.  The door there is the front door, which actually masquerades as the side door due to how the house is situated on the property.  To the right is a small fire place, that if we were to decide to get the house we might switch out for a gas stove.  There are three types of heating methods in this house.  The first is the fireplace, second baseboard heaters, third forced air heat.  Who knows why there are so many, I guess they never wanted to get cold.
