Front of House:
This is a picture of the front of the house from the
road
This is a picture of the back of the house from the back yard.
This is a picture of the backyard from inside the house (through a screen, bleck)
This is a picture of the radical alley that runs along one side of the house. The garages are situated on this alley instead of on the road.
The garage has three stalls, a loft, and plenty of extra space for storing stuff. Once settled in I will be sure to buy a lot of stuff to store there.
This shot is proof that the garage can store a lot of stuff. I don't plan to have near this much stuff. I was thinking more along the lines of a weedwhacker and maybe a bent shovel.
This is the basement floorplan as best as I can remember it. I have camera icons showing where the pictures were taken. The cameras link to the images below.
This shot is from the base of the stairs. This is the main area of the basement which includes washer, dryer, freezer, small workbench, heater, and water heater.
This is the bathroom located in the basement. It was built fairly recently. It also has a shower stall to the left of the doorway.
About half of the basement is finished off. It wraps around to the right at the rear of this picture. It doesn't count as a bedroom b/c in the event of a fire all people larger than a window who do not know how to operate "stairs" would be killed off.
This is the main floor floorplan as best as I can remember it. I have camera icons showing where the pictures were taken. The cameras link to the images below.
This is the kitchen. It was redone recently and is one of the nicest areas of the house. It even has a purified water tap and a built-in soap dispenser.
This is a view of the kitchen from the dining area.
This is a picture of the dining room taken from the living room. The kitchen is to the right of the dining room.
This is a picture of the living room in all its glory.
Staircase going upstairs.
This is the upper level floorplan as best as I can remember it. I have camera icons showing where the pictures were taken. The cameras link to the images below.
This room will probably be my office soon.
This is the largest of the upstairs rooms. It will be the master bedroom.
This room needs to be painted in a BIG way. Once that is done it will be the spare bedroom.
The upstairs bathroom is pretty dated and does not allow much room for cabinetry. We have some good ides for how to fix it up a little bit.
The upstairs bathroom has one of those old fashioned tubs in it. We plan to update that to a newer bathtub and shower setup. We also plan to figure something out with that weird shaped vanity. This is the only major project that we are planning for the place (besides central air someday hopefully) Aside from this it is mostly some paint here and there.
This map shows things zoomed in to the street level. The house is just a few houses in from Monroe on the north side of Burr Oak.
This map shows the location in reference to the entire Grand Rapids area. The easiest way to get to the house is probably 131 to the Ann St. exit. The local map will show you what to expect from that point.
