This style is called a raised ranch. The bedrooms are over the garage which can hold two cars.

There is a half flight of stairs at the front of the house with pavers and landscaping.

The yard as seen from the upper deck is fenced. Nice and sunny, a vegtable garden would be nice at the back corner, wouldn't it?

As you go up the foyer staircase, which is a rich oak color, you first see the living room.



To the south side of the staircase is the formal dining room, large enough for six people.


The kitchen entrance is directly to the east of the dining room. The ceiling in both the kitchen and the dining room is cathedral style. The kitchen has a sliding door which leads to the upper deck, and a flight of stairs down to the outside patio.

This is the second larger bedroom and you can see the windows reflected in the glass in the picture. There are window seats too.

The hall bath has a shower-tub and nice neutral fixtures.



The downstairs laundry room is a real room with space for a sewing machine or even a small desk. You can close the door and probably even hide presents in here. It's bright with two windows.

This is looking from the dining area south to the living area.

The walk-in closet is on the north wall. It's deep and needs a better light.

This is the northwest bedroom. Ample space for either a baby or child.

This is the lower level family room which is currently being used as a "gym." I'd put a sofa and a big TV down here, along with a small frig for soda and snacks. There is storage under the stairs.

The furance and hot water heater are in this closet on the north wall.



This is looking at the wall and the door coming from the garage.
