Again, I fell in love with this house immediately. The kitchen is to die for! (lots of cabinets!) I also love the extra room in the back of the house (music room.) I currently teach piano lessons in this room! The back yard is just perfect for me - a peaceful plot with lovely flowers in the summer - and a yard small enough for me to use my push mower!
Of course, the garage was a major selling point for me, as my family has operated an "art camp" out of the detached garage each summer.
I took my time with updating the inside. I generally worked on one room at a time, stripping off layers of wallpaper, mudding and sanding over the old plaster walls, tearing out the old carpets and having the beautiful wood floors refinished.
