The new house

I am finally getting around to posting about our new house...4 months later. When we moved here two years ago, we decided on the Keller area, a suburb of Fort Worth, and rented a house in a master planned community. We really grew to love the area and our community. We have six pools to choose from, numerous parks, walking trails and our church is 5 minutes away. Most importantly, it is a very safe area with great schools. We had no doubt we wanted to stay in this community.

Now trying to find a house that met our needs.
    1. Safe area with great schools (done)
    2. At least 4 bedrooms
    3. Quiet street. Not a lot of thru traffic
    4. Decent sized yard
    5. 3 car garage

So now to get this in our price range.  It took awhile but we found one with our needs. It was built in 2001 and stuck there. The house itself was in great shape, it was just dated. When I walked thru, I saw so much potential and I really love taking something that needs a little love and making it shine.

Here is what the house looked like when we toured it

I'm missing a picture of one of the bedrooms but this is where we plan to spend many years. Yes, I said MANY years. Good grief we have moved so much but this house has such a versatile floor plan we could easily retire here, ha! . We have two bedrooms on the main level which works well since Sam is not a great sleeper (walking up and down the stairs at 2am is not my cup of tea) then there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a large gameroom upstairs.  So in total we have 4 bedrooms, three bathrooms and about 3,000 square feet. I have done so much painting but right now we are in the process of doing a budget friendly kitchen facelift.  So I will keep a real time update...hopefully not four months later!
