House Pictures, Part 2

So if you haven't read part 1, go read that first!  Ok, where was I?  Oh yeah... into the master bathroom.  When you walk into the master bathroom, to the right you have a nice walk-in closet, which you really can't tell how big it is in this picture, but it is very good sized.  It extends left when you go into it.
To the left when you walk in the master bathroom you have the vanity, toilet, and bath/shower.  Yes, there is only one sink in there, but we're used to that, and I don't really think it'll be much of a problem for us.
Alright... to backing up to the living room... remember the little cove on the right that led up the stairs?  Well, here are said stairs.
And this is the upstairs room.  It is HUGE as well... hence the futon and tv on the left, and bed on the right.  And the open closet, as well as the open door to the unfinished part of the upstairs... definitely space for more bedrooms or living area.  Eventually we will add on there!
And here's a close up of the unfinished part.  The door swings out into the unfinished part, so you once again can't see how big it is, but this is about half of it, so double that size, and that's the unfinished part.
And back down the stairs we go.  I think that lavender color is going to have to disappear!
Then over to the door in the living room that leads to the unfinished basement... and this is the stairs to get there.  We're going to have to put railing on that eventually, but for now, while we have no children and then small children, they won't be going up and down those stairs unattended!  (Yay for a door to keep them out!)
This is part 1 of the unfinished basement.  As you can see, the current owners have made this the man area, which it will also be for Jason... thank goodness!  All of his hunting and fishing stuff can go down here and I don't have to trip over it all the time!  There is a wood stove in the back left corner, which we will be using to heat the house in the winter so we don't have to use the propane.  The current owners said the wood stove heats the place up real well, so that's good.  The door on the left leads to storage area under the deck.. you'll see that in a bit.
This is the second part of the unfinished basement... if you put the last picture, this picture, and the next picture side by side left to right, you could pan the entire basement.
And the last part of the basement.  That tank on the right is for the water, which is pumped up from the city water line down below.  the inspector was impressed that the pump was at the top of the hill with the house because he has seen some where the pump is down below and the water pressure is not nearly as good... but this house has good water pressure, and the tank is automatically refilled when the pressure in it declines to a certain psi.  The owner showed us how that works too... that way we don't get confused when it's ours!
This is the stairs leading back upstairs... and the door leads directly to outside... so Jason can come directly inside from doing whatever and I don't have to yell at him for getting my upstairs dirty. ;)
And remember the door leading to the storage area under the deck?  Well, this is it.  To the right and to the left of the door.  Yes, it looks a little bit messy, but hey, it's under the deck... not heated or anything, and they will be cleaning it!  Oh yeah, and they kept their dogs in there when they were puppies, so of course it's going to be a bit dirty!

So that's the house!  Sadly, I wasn't thinking clearly and forgot to take pictures of the OUTSIDE of the house, but really there's not that much to see because it's on a hill and you can't get a good picture of it... all you end up seeing is the cinder blocks and part of the deck when looking up the hill at the front of it.  The siding is grey, and has a tin roof.  That's about the extent of the outside you need to know about.  This will be our house... oh, and 13.02 acres that comes with it... which is almost all wooded, and the current owners have killed turkeys and deer this year on it, so Jason is happy.  The owner showed Jason some hot spots too, so he's ready to get out there!
Now if only we could get my car up the driveway!!  Oh, did I forget to mention that??  The owners put some rocks on the driveway intending to help with traction, but in reality it made the traction absolutely horrible, so my car tires spin at the switchbacks.  We have a few ideas, but are pretty sure that getting rid of those little rocks will help me get up there!
