A few pics of the house...
 

Here are a few crappy pics of the new house. Nothing grand, but I think its great for our first little home. 2 bed, 1 bath. Small but nice. And its only the two of us so its not like we need anymore space. Porch now has 2 rockers and a side table so I can sit out there and enjoy a cigar.

Everything is pretty much done. Pics are from the day after moving in. Only big thing left to do is buy a second bedroom set and patio furniture. Exciting to finally own a home, but damn theres always something to do!:r

It's beautiful, Robert.
Don't apologize for anything.

All the best for many fond memories in your first home.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Thanks Peter!!!! My g/f and I couldn't be happier!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Nice porch to chill with a cigar. Congrats, looks great :banger

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

That looks great bro!!! Congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

If I had the choice of what I wanted my first house to be: you nailed it on the head. Additionally, I like the Keep Calm and Carry On poster. Classy AF.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Beautiful, nice and clean, love your kitchen. Time for a party!!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks nice and cozy! My GF and I did the same thing 2 years ago. Like you said there is always something to do (which isn't always a bad thing), and it's a helluva feeling to be able to call it your own! Congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Robert, Congrats bro! This is a great house.....wished I would have went for something like this instead of going big (will never have multi level house again....unless there is a basement, and we all know why) But I'm happy for you and your g/f this is a great 1st house. :banger

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks great to me.....good luck with it!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks very nice and cozy! You need not apologize for anything brother!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

I love it,congrats to you both!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Congrats Brother!!!

That is a sweet set up! I like all the trim around the windows and the floors are sweet too:tu
Nice home indeed!!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Impressive Sir!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Nice place. Our first wasn't near as nice. Like that paved brick walk.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks perfect,Robert. Congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

That's impressive. My house wasn't that clean the day after we moved in. boxes everywhere, nothing set up. I'm thoroughly impressed. Congrats on the first house.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Great job! Enjoy it.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

We are on the flip side of your situation. The daughter is grown and we both want to downsize. Love your open floorplan and that sweet front porch.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Excellent & Congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Congrats! Enjoy the new house

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!:) We are very happy and lucky to have the house. Its great when you pull in the driveway and know its your own.

Bonus points for having a yard and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy a cigar:noon

The floors are the only thing inside here that is original to the house! They were the first thing I noticed when I came to the open house. Place was built in 1930.

We like the sidewalk too. We have a side patio that has the pavers also. Debating on replacing the river rock driveway with pavers eventuallly too.

The shed you can kind of see outback is 200 sq ft. We want to extend the paver patio to it, finish the inside and make it like an entertainment/lounge room for when we have people over. But thats down the road. No projects until at least next year.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

That's totally cute. I like the kitchen decore.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

:r Thats how I would describe it too, cute. My g/f's girly touches are definitely visible. Love you more, Always Kiss me goodnight, Keep Calm and Carry On.....all her stuff.

But, I thought I would get ahead of the saying "happy wife, happy life". Not married yet, but the stuff makes her happy.:tu

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Congratulations -- it's very cool Robert! I hope you have many happy years there!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

I love it. Congrats again brother.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

looks great! Congrats

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Although I know what it's from, I had to look at it twice. Kept reading it as, "Keep Calm and Chive On" :r

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

very nice, where in MA are you?

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

:r:r
Hamilton

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

what a nice house you got there...

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks great. Kitchen looks open.. I really like how it is open to the living room. How is the backyard situation?

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Thanks!

There isn't literally a back yard. More like front and sides only on a corner lot:r

At the back of the house is the driveway which is all river rock (i think thats what its called) and that goes the length of the house in back. There is a mudroom on the back, plus the bulkhead door to the celler, so there isn't any room for a backyard. And the shed takes up the rest of the property in the back on the other corner.

That might not make any sense :r:r

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Still looks good. I like the way it is set up.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Quick paint of the property layout :r:r:r Extremely detailed obviously :r

Nice looking place. Congratulations and enjoy!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks nice, congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Very fancy locale

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Gorgeous new home. Congrats!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

very nice, I got married at the Ipswich country club, not too far from their.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

So I am told. Already hear the comments from other people. "oh, you live in hamilton?" in a smartass comment tone. :r I'm from KY so I dont really understand. But my g/f is from Andover, she gets the same thing if she ever says thats where she is from. I guess I'm just out of the loop.

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Yeah, Ipswich is just right up the road. The country club is very nice looking. Doubt I could afford that membership :r

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Bushwood CC is much better IMO :lr

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

It is a great house. Enjoy brother!!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

I definitly can not afford it either, the in laws paid for the wedding:)

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Very cool place! :tu

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Looks like a great one! I don't think anyone forgets their first. Congrats, yo!

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

And unlike Truk, chilling will exactly be what you're doing in MA this winter. :r

Nice place, brother. Best of luck to both of you there. Here's hoping it will not be too great a "money trap". :tu

Re: A few pics of the house...
 

Conratulations, that is a beautiful house! I lived in a very similar Sears Kit House as one of my first. I cant tell if yours is a Craftsman or a Sears, but it was an excellent choice. You may have to insulate and heat that shed so you have a winter smoking lounge! :D
